Users evaluating ATG Merchandising can log in as one of two users:
The publishing user (username and password are
publishing) has unrestricted access to the administrative and merchandising portions of the UI. All administrative tasks, such as creating search configuration folders and specifying the properties that affect how search results appear to customers, are applicable and visible only to users who have ATG Search. See Administering Search Merchandising for information on administrative tasks.The merchandising user (username and password are
merchandising) can access all non-administrative parts of the UI.
You can view information about these user accounts in the Internal Users portion of the ATG Business Control Center. See Setting Up User Accounts and Roles for information.
When you purchase a permanent copy of ATG Merchandising, an administrator needs to set up user accounts with roles that control the parts of ATG the users can access.
You may decide to assign users to existing roles. All existing roles that provide access to ATG Content Administration automatically provide access to ATG Merchandising. If you prefer to create new roles, they will require access to both ATG Merchandising and ATG Business Control Center, because the ATG Merchandising UI is part of the ATG Business Control Center.
For instructions on setting up user accounts and roles, see Managing User Access and Security in the ATG Content Administration Programming Guide.
