Cannot allow editor=role to edit products without giving full admin permissions [#729266]

I would like to pass on a site that has Ubercart to the owner for updating products.

I cannot seem to find a way to enable permissions to allow a different role other than admin to edit the products at each product page.

I created a Role = editor for this person.

When you click on the product with admin permissions the edit box is shown to change the product item.

When you click on the product with editor permissions the edit box doesn't show to change the product item.

I don't want to allow permissions for "all elements" of the products catalog.

The content management/content pages are complex and allow to much opportunity for editor user to mess up products.

would like for the user with editor role/permissions to click on the product as a normal purchaser on the site does, see the edit box and be able to edit those entry items.

Workflow menu settings etc., in the content management section will just make it too easy for the editor user to mess things up.

I've got a site owner that is so computer illierate she doesn't even know how to use the right-click function.

She will be making these changes, as she has time available. There are approximately 400 products to edit or delete.

This is a major problem. You just can't turn over full admin permissions so product items can be edited or deleted.

I have allowed just about every permission possible along with making sure permissions are in order for FCKeditor module as well.

Priority:

Critical

» Normal

The permission should be "uc_product : edit all products " I think. Plus some other ones nearby. Have you got that allowed for your editor role?

Yes it is enabled for editor role

In fact, I have all possible edits permissions enabled under everything UC in permissions

Along with all permissions enabled under node module as well

I'm thinking there is something within the UC that is causing it.

Admin permissions work. I have practically enabled everything I can think of under role=editor.

So much so, that editor is admin for the UC and node module.

I could make an entry in Mysql I guess, if I knew what to change. This isn't a fix, but it would be a workaround.

I could live with a workaround in this situation.

Thanks for responding

I had this issue as well, was able to solve it this way.

The product's input format was set to "Full HTML". The role I had configured was not added to the "Full HTML input format"

Added "product editor" role to full html input format 'administer - site configuration - input formats' and edit tab is now available.

hope this helps

Another work-around, if you do't want to change the users role or their input format (and you don't have too many pages), is to re-save each of the nodes/pages after changing the input format.
