Objective: By creating additional permissions in IMS system, you allow specific users to access only specific areas of your Administration area of your IMS system. You can assign permissions to access the module itself such as Product, Store, Orders, Taxes, Shipping...and you can also assign permissions to the functions within each module. You have full control of your IMS system.
First you have to know that IMS system comes with the following permissions:
Admin:
It is probably the best to have just one admin account. Change the password on a regular basis.
Access to all parts of the admin area.
Ability to add users and change passwords for all users.
Ability to change/set permissions on modules and functions (Caution!)
Ability to add modules and functions (Caution !)
Storeadmin:
Access to all parts of the admin area except the admin module itself.
Ability to add users and change passwords for storeadmin, shopper and demo.
Shopper:
Access only to the shop.
Ability to view their orders and change personal, edit account information and add shipping addresses.
Demo:
For demonstration purposes only.
Access limited parts of the admin area.
No permissions for admin functions.
Also we created additional ones for specific use: Reseller, Affiliate, Hotel and Tour.
Second, you need to create the new permission itself. As example you can create "level1" as a new permission. You need to update a PHP file located on your Webserver at ....imscart/inc/modules/admin/lib/ps_perm.inc.
Warning: Take a backup copy of that file before modifying it. Notepad is a good tool for this because there is no formatting code generated.
Where you have
class ps_perm {
var $permissions = array(
"shopper" => "1",
"hotel" => "2",
"reseller" => "3",
"demo" => "4",
"storeadmin" => "5",
"level1" => "6",
"admin" => "8"
);
just add the new permission "level1" with a number and save the file.
Third, you have to modify another PHP file to allow each new user with the new permission to access the admin area by clicking on the "admin" link on top blue bar. To do this you go to your Admin area, click Admin, then Edit pages, select "topmenu and click SUBMIT to modify the page.
Where you have:
if ($perm->check("admin,storeadmin,hotel,demo,level1")) { ?>
<a class="topnavlinks" href="<?php $sess->purl(SECUREURL . "?page=order/index"); ?>">
<? echo $administration_title; ?></a> <img src="shop_image/ps_image/wdot2.gif" border="0" width="2" height="10">
<? } ?>
simply add the new permission "level1" in the first line with the other permissions are listed and save the page.
Fourth, you need to create the new user and in the permission drop down list, you will now see "level1" that can be assigned to the new user.
Fifth, click Admin and List modules (left border). You will see the listing of all modules with permissions.
If you want your new user to access only Store and Products, you have to add the new permission "level1" to the above module. You must also add your new permission to these 2 modules to make this work: Orders and Account.
As example, Store can be accessed by: admin,storeadmin,demo . Click on the link Store in the Module Name field and add "level1" in the Module Perms input box. Save the form.
Then do a test with the new user name.
Do the same with the others modules.
The IMS system needs every user to access "Orders". But you can stop your new user to use the functions under "Orders" that are in the left menu. How to do this?
In the Admin area, Admin and List modules, click on the "functions" link on the same line as Order to view each function and their perm. Then you make sure that the new permission is not listed for each function.
