How Multiple Conditions Work Together

Within a Single Permission​

When multiple conditions are set within a single permission:

1. Combined Logic: All conditions must be satisfied for the permission to apply. This means:

   • If a permission has conditions for suppliers, countries, catalogs, or categories, a user must have access to all the specified conditions
   • If any condition is not met, the entire permission is not applicable

2. Condition Types Interaction:

   • If any condition is set to "All", it automatically includes everything in that category
   • If a condition uses "Include", only the specifically listed items are allowed
   • If a condition uses "Exclude", everything is allowed except the specifically listed items

How They Work Across Multiple Permissions​

When a user has multiple permissions:

1. Union of Permissions: The system combines all applicable permissions to determine the total access:

   • If one permission allows access to Supplier A and another allows access to Supplier B, the user has access to both suppliers
   • The same applies to countries, catalogs, categories, and other condition types

2. Precedence Rules:

   • "Include" conditions are additive - they add to the total set of allowed items
   • "Exclude" conditions are subtractive - they remove items from the allowed set
   • "All" conditions override specific includes/excludes for that category

Examples​

Example 1: Single Permission with Multiple Conditions​

Permission A:
- Suppliers: Include [Supplier1, Supplier2]
- Countries: Include [US, UK]

This permission would only apply to:

• Products from Supplier1 or Supplier2
• In the US or UK

Example 2: Multiple Permissions​

Permission A:
- Suppliers: Include [Supplier1]
- Countries: Include [US]

Permission B:
- Suppliers: Include [Supplier2]
- Countries: Include [UK]

The user would have access to:

• Products from both Supplier1 and Supplier2
• In both US and UK

Example 3: Mixed Condition Types​

Permission A:
- Suppliers: All
- Countries: Exclude [US]

This permission would apply to:

• All suppliers
• All countries except US

Notifications​

Approvers receive notifications when approval is needed and when decisions are made.

Important Notes​

1. Empty Conditions: If a permission has no conditions specified, it is considered to have "All" conditions, meaning it applies to everything.

2. User Assignment: Permissions can be assigned to specific users or user groups.

3. Enabled Status: Permissions must be enabled to take effect.

4. Audit Requirements: All permission changes and approval decisions are logged for compliance.
