Access Labels
NOTE: This feature may not be included in your license pack.
By default, all the products in your store are available to all its users. You can control access to individual products and/or product categories at the user’s level by applying access labels.
Figure 7.72: Users can see products/product categories if they have matching access labels.
Only users who have been assigned matching access labels can see these products and/or product categories on the storefront and order them. For example, in a large organization, you may want to filter your products by dealer location (north, south, east, west), by distribution channel (dealer, distributor, chain store), or by language if you have products in different languages.
Figure 7.73: Shoppers can only see a product or product category on the storefront if their user profile has matching access labels. Product category labels override product labels.
You can create up to 512 access labels per company. This means you can create stores in which each individual user sees a different range of products.
Access labels are listed alphabetically when you assign them to products or product categories. To manage a long list of labels, you can use prefixes in the name, e.g. Sales_User1, Sales_User2, Marketing_User3, Marketing_User4, etc. This makes it easier to quickly find a specific access label.
Setting up access labels 
Access labels need to be defined and applied at various levels.
1 Define a set of access labels for a company: see “Create a Company”.
You can specify a different set of access labels for each company.
2 Apply the access labels you created in step 1 to the Product Categories of the store: see “Assign Access Labels to Product Categories”.
AND/OR
3 Apply the access labels you created in step 1 to individual Products: see “Creating Products”.
4 Assign the access labels to the Users to control which products or product categories they can see on the storefront: see “Create a new user”.
Products and Users with access labels are indicated in their respective lists by the following icon:
Hover over the icon to see which access labels have been assigned to the product or user.
You can check that a user actually has access to the correct products with the Impersonate feature. See “Impersonate a user”.
