In order to view Collection properties, a user must have Read access to an asset’s item type. For example, a user who does not have Read access to media items will not see a product’s auxiliary media collection property when viewing that product in Merchandising.

If a user has Read access to both an asset and its collection property, the collection editor in the Merchandising Details pane displays all the asset references it contains, regardless of the user’s access rights to any assets referenced in the collection. For example, suppose a product has 50 SKUs in its FixedChildSkus collection. A merchandiser does not need Read access to all 50 SKUs in order to see them listed in the Fixed Child SKUs collection editor in the product’s Details pane.

Users who can access the collection editor for a property can reorder items in and remove items from the collection, regardless of access rights on those items.

For access rights required to add assets to collections, see Creating Assets.

For more information about working with collections, see Working with Collection Editors in the ATG Merchandising Guide for Business Users.
