Hi Hamid,

to achieve this behaviour - user will be able to manage only products from specified department - follow these steps:

assign the user to role, e.g. Department1ManagerRole. See the Configurating permission section in Kentico documentation,
grant the Read products and Modify products permissions to the role user is assigned to (Department1ManagerRole). See the E-commerce permission section in Kentico documentation),
go to Users application -> edit your user -> go to tab Departments -> assign the department (Department1) to the user

Now you have the user (in role Department1ManagerRole) who is able to manage the products only from department Department1.

You can also follow step by step scenario in E-commerce department managers section in Kentico documentation. Hope it will help you.

Best regards,
Juraj Komlosi

Hello,

Based on the example you provided it seems that Page Level Permissions (ACL) may be appropriate for this scenario. You can specify which users/roles should be able to see certain documents (products) and set your repeaters or other listing Web parts to "Check permissions." Would this approach work for you?

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or information.

Thanks,

Sandro
