Your resellers include partner organizations and some individual consultants who are not associated with a partner organization. Your solution must meet the following requirements:
Figure 11 illustrates one access control structure that solves this business problem. This solution assumes that your partners are stored as organizations, in which partner users are associated with positions. The consultants exist as users; they have responsibilities, but not positions, and are not associated with an organization. The Resellers Community is an access group hierarchy. Each node is an access group whose members are partner organizations and a single user list. The user list in each node contains all consultants of the appropriate status. For internal administrators to have visibility of the catalog, include their positions in the Alliance access group. The Reseller Resources catalog is constructed of categories containing data and nodes that are empty categories to define access levels. Apply the following principles to construct this structure:
Implementing the Reseller Resources Access Control StructureThe following implementation procedure restricts the base resellers' access to product resources only, premier resellers' access to product resources and sales resources, and alliance resellers' access to all resources. To implement the Reseller Resources access control structure
This structure meets the minimal maintenance requirement. If the status of a partner organization changes, add the partner organization to the appropriate access group and delete the partner organization from the old access group. If the status of a consultant changes, add the user to the appropriate user list, and delete the user from the old user list. Recategorized consultants and partner users are granted appropriate new access as defined by the structure. NOTE: Sales tools of the same type, for example FAQs or product documentation, are in separate categories. Related Topic |
