Store Management Permissions
With Liferay Commerce, you can use permissions to control access to Store Management applications and resources in the Commerce tab of the Global Menu (
).
You can manage Store Management permissions for user roles under Commerce → Store Management in the Define Permissions tab. Assign permissions individually, or check Action to assign all permissions for an application or resource.
