Permissions in the Smartstore store software control access to functions and properties of the store. They regulate which store areas and functions users are authorized to enter or execute.

Technical stores often need this: data sheets, catalogs, brochures or forms for direct download on the article detail page, often in the common PDF format. The "FileManager plugin" provides Smartstore stores from version 4.1.1 with an extra tab for this feature. This allows store operators to offer information that is already available in PDF format and for which a normal product description in the long text is not sufficient.

The B2B Plugin Shopping Cart Approvals allows to implement approval processes for procurement workflows, by assigning procurement managers and buyers, in Smartstore. Assigned buyers must request shopping cart approvals from their procurement managers when the cart total exceeds the maximum purchase value set for that buyer.
