Pricing Permissions
With Liferay Commerce, you can use permissions to control access to Pricing applications and resources in the Commerce tab of the Global Menu (
).
You can manage Pricing permissions for user roles under Commerce → Pricing in the Define Permissions tab. Assign permissions individually, or check Action to assign all permissions for an application or resource.
Application Permissions
Application permissions grant abilities for an application itself, but do not include related resource permissions.
Pricing includes the following applications:
Price Lists: This application is used to create and manage Price List entities that store Product price entries.
Discounts: This application is used to create and manage Discount entities that modify prices.
Promotions: This application is used to create and manage Promotions, which are entities that store Product price entries that can be applied to a Product in place of its other Price List entries.
Product Groups: This application is used to create and manage Product Group entities.
Tax Categories: This application is used to create and manage categories for applying tax rates to Channel Products and shipping costs. See Creating Tax Categories for more information.

Resource Permissions

Others grant the ability to perform resource-related operations in an application context (e.g., the ability to create a new resource entity).
