Approval Permissions

Client Approval Permissions is a feature that allows you to control who in your organization can approve specific types of content for your stores. This system helps maintain quality control and ensures that only authorized personnel can make important approval decisions.

Approval permissions define who can approve different types of content in your stores. These permissions can be configured for:

1. Offer - Control who can approve price changes, new pricing or new products
2. Promotions - Control who can approve promotional campaigns

• Controlled Access: Ensure only authorized staff can approve sensitive changes
• Customizable Rules: Create specific rules based on your business needs
• Supplier-Specific Controls: Set different approval requirements for different suppliers
• Country-Specific Controls: Apply different approval rules based on geographic regions

Each approval permission has a specific type that determines what kind of content it controls:

• Offer Approvals: Controls who can approve price changes, new pricing and new products
• Promotion Approvals: Controls who can approve promotional campaigns and offers

For each approval permission, you can set conditions that determine when the permission applies:

• Suppliers: Apply the permission to specific suppliers or all suppliers
• Countries: Apply the permission to specific countries or regions
• Catalogs: Apply the permission to specific product catalogs

1. Navigate to the Approval Permissions section

4. Name your permission and add a description
5. Enable or disable the permission
