Access Control Lists for Manufacturers

Here are some details on access control lists for manufacturers.

Enable Access Control

Enable the profile option EGP_MANUFACTURER_REDWOOD_ENABLED. Also, you must opt in to the feature Redwood: Secure Manufacturers Using Access Control Lists.

Note:

• Criteria-based access control for manufacturers is supported only on Redwood pages. Classic pages don’t support it and continue to use data security configured at the individual manufacturer level.

  If you enable criteria-based access control, it’s recommended not to use both Redwood and the Classic pages, because using criteria-based access control and existing manufacturer security concurrently in the same environment isn’t supported and can result in inconsistent manufacturer access.

• Rebuild the manufacturer index after creating permission sets and activating your teams to ensure data security is applied the first time you opt in to the feature Redwood: Secure Manufacturers Using Access Control Lists.

How Access Control Lists Work with Functional Privileges on Manufacturers

Manufacturers can be secured using the access control lists and the functional privileges assigned through Security Console. Your user's ability to access manufacturers depends on both the permissions assigned in access control lists and the functional privileges.

Note: Permissions assigned though access control lists will only be effective if the manufacturer has been assigned the appropriate functional privileges.

Example

The table presents an example of the access granted to the manufacturers based on functional privileges and permissions in access control lists.
