I like this idea a lot, even if we've never had anyone ask us to provide it. It's a nice idea, and it would be nice if EI could add the options to grant various CP user statuses access to this page. I can see how that could be very helpful for staff.

In the meantime, I've taken the time to add a "How To" on this, with a bit more finesse, to the wiki. You can find it here. The instructions provide a fine-tuned level of control over which status levels are granted access to this default screen.

Hi Rodney,
    We do know - we wrote it :-)  It's a very simple edit to change who can see the ful blown reports etc. In menu.asp line 118 :-

'****************************
'* Admin login: show info
'****************************

IF session("PmAdmin")="19" THEN %>


If you change the If statement you can change what level of user permissions are required to see the charts etc. (See http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/settings-manage-users )
One small note of caution, generating the Sales Charts graphs can take some time and slow the display of the page, but this is readily overcome by selecting "Hide Charts" at the top of the charts. They can easily be re-displayed by selecting "Show Sales Charts" which will then be displayed at the top of the "Most Recent Orders" section.

I used this fix on v4.6 and it worked for us.  From the responses above, it seems that EI doesn't even know how the control panel treats admins other than the super admin.  The above message on the original post is what every user sees every time they log in, no matter what rights are assigned to them.  It's not an attractive default page to see after logging in.  Hopefully it will get fixed on the next update.

Thanks,
Rodney

EarlyImp, No one has told me about problems with the rights any more, so I think that's fixed - thanks!

Sean, we added the mod too, just in case.

Brett, thanks, modifying the menu.asp works great in our test cart, and I think CS is going to love having those visible.

Hi, I wanted my other admins to be able to see our graphs and stuff as well, instead of just a message telling them that they have limited access.

I am on v4.1b sp2. You can achieve this by modifying menu.asp. Look around line 106 for something like:

IF (session("PmAdmin")="19") THEN %>

and change that to say

IF (session("PmAdmin")="19") OR (session("PmAdmin")="1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*11*") THEN %>


And then any admin with all of the permissions will be able to see those graphs.]]> Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:21:42 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/losing-rights_topic5154_post19768.html#19768 <![CDATA[Losing Rights : Hi Polly,To whatever extent this...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/losing-rights_topic5154_post19706.html#19706 Author: Guests

Hi Polly,

To whatever extent this may be related to session timeout, you might like to try this freebie:

Thanks, we did recently upgrade to 4.6 -- I'll check to see if it's still a problem!

Hi Polly,

If the Admin "rights" issue is not related to a server session timeout, it sounds like one that has been addressed in the latest version of ProductCart, so we would recommend updating to v4.6. If you still experience a problem after that, please open a support ticket.

Also it would be nice if people who have rights to all sections could see the nifty graphs that only the master user gets to see.  Everyone else sees this when they log in:

Welcome to Your Store's Control Panel

 

Welcome to your store's Control Panel.

Note that your Control Panel account has limited rights. If you believe that you have not been given the correct access rights, please contact the store administrator.

To start using the Control Panel, use the navigation menus located at the top of the page. Mouse over each menu item to view a sub-menu of features to which you have been granted access.
