Retail | Company Products | Multi-Shop Permissions

Company Products represent the "source of truth" for your entire organization. To prevent accidental global errors and ensure data integrity, BLAZE has implemented Read-Only enforcement for users who are not assigned to all locations. This guardrail ensures that only authorized personnel can make changes that impact the entire enterprise.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Company Inventory > Company Products.

  • A clear understanding of your current Security Role and Shop Assignments.

How the Logic Works

The system identifies a user as having "All Shops" status if any of the following conditions are met:

  • The Add All Shops toggle is enabled on your user profile.

  • Your manually assigned shop list matches the total count of active shops in the company.

  • Your specific security role/permission flag explicitly grants global administrative access.

Restrictions for Non-"All Shops" Users

If you have access to some shops but not all, the Company Products module becomes a view-only resource. While you can still view the product list and details (provided you have "View Products" permissions), the following actions are disabled:

  • Global Management: Add, Edit, Delete, or Duplicate Company Products.

  • Bulk Actions: Access to Bulk Edit and CSV Imports.

  • Categorization: Toggling "Active" status or changing global Categories/Brands.

  • Media: Image uploads directly on the product detail page.

Visual Cues

  • Tooltips: Hovering over a disabled button (such as Add Product) will display: "Editing Company Products requires All Shops permission."

  • Modified Buttons: The Import/Export button will transform into an Export only button.

Permitted Actions for Local Managers

Even without "All Shops" access, local managers can still perform essential day-to-day tasks:

  • Export Data: You can still export CSV/Excel files for reporting purposes (requires "Export" permission).

  • Shop Overrides: If you have "Shop Edit" rights for your assigned locations, you can still edit shop-specific fields. These changes are saved as Overrides and only affect the shops you are explicitly assigned to manage.

  • Vendors & Brands: Access to these sections remains tied to standard "View/Manage vendors in web" permissions rather than the All Shops requirement.
