Problems
With the products whose prices are good or discounted, the store owner would like to give priority to only wholesalers. Therefore, only the wholesalers can see and access the information about these products and make purchases. This works as a way for you to express appreciation and maintain a relationship with loyal and important customer groups.
The catalog restriction allows store owners to set visibility to suit the business situation and shopping seasons. For example, when the stock quantity of a product is small, these products will be visible only to important customer groups.
Customers can view appropriate categories, products, or page information when they go shopping on the store site. Hence, they can focus better and avoid being distracted and confused by a number of irrelevant factors.
Solutions
- Give category permissions priority to build up the relationship
- Target products to relevant customer groups
- Apply suitable sales strategies in different situations
- Share sensitive information with particular customer groups
- Focus on relevant information
- Gain purchase priority on special occasions
- Have better shopping experience
Magento 2 Advanced Catalog Permission Highlight Features
Set category permissions section for specified customer groups
As one of the typical features, Magento 2 Catalog Permissions helps stores divide category visibility between different customer groups. For instance, watches are a high-end and limited category, so the store owner would like to show them to only special groups.
The categories can be visible or hidden to specific groups such as wholesalers, retailers, or any other client segments. The category permissions configuration is very easy with clicking and selecting actions and the restriction will be set properly.
Restrict products by customer groups
Besides restricting customer groups to access specific categories, Mageplaza Catalog Permission also supports setting visibility to individual products.
In detail, with a product, you can select customer groups who are not allowed to view the product information. In other words, the product will be hidden from specific clients, because of product features, other purposes, or in some special cases.
Limit access to CMS pages/ blocks
CMS pages and CMS blocks are also supported with the customer group restriction function.
For example, with sensitive content such as Return & Refund Policy, Commission Policy, etc, store owners would like to restrict access to guest visitors or even retailers and only allow wholesalers to access. This advanced permissions tool ensures that stores can be in total control of who can view the specific content.
Get redirected if being restricted
The ones who are not allowed to access specific content will be redirected to the replaced information. The redirect URL can be configured with ease from the admin backend. Store admins can add any forwarding URL for their purposes. Some suggestions can be:
URL Direction will keep restricted customers' remaining shopping time on the store site or simply help them get notified of catalog permission clearly.
Set valid time for catalog restriction
With the help of Magento 2 Category Permissions, store owners can set the time in which the restriction is valid. This feature is helpful when stores would like to limit access in specific cases, such as special holidays, or peak seasons.
For example, in the peak season and when the product quantity is not large, the store only shows the products to logged-in customers.

To give permission in Magento 2, you can create a new role and set the permissions for that role, and then assign the role to the desired user. To do this, go to System -> Permissions -> Roles and create a new role. Then, set the desired permissions for that role under the Role Resources section. Finally, go to System -> Permissions -> Users and assign the role to the desired user.

Custom permissions are specific permissions that are set for a user or a role, while permission set is a pre-defined set of permissions that can be assigned to a user or a role.

Use Cases of Magento 2 Advanced Catalog Permission Extension
Use case 1: Target products for relevant buyers
Business goals:
- Set special visibility for products to increase purchases
Default Magento technical limitations:
- A default Magento store lacks the ability to change items' restrictions for consumers.
Solutions
- Provide the ability to select which specific customer groups are not allowed to view an item
- Give you the feature to hide irrelevant products.
- For example, if you sell both male and female items, you can restrict them so that only gender-related items are available for viewing.
Use case 2: Apply suitable sales strategies with timers for restriction
Business goals:
- Use product visibility as a strategy to tackle different situations, such as peak seasons, holidays, etc.
Default Magento technical limitations:
- You can't change the restrictions or the period of the restriction rules.
Solutions
- Let admins set the time in which the restrictions are valid.
- For example, during the peak season and a product category doesn't have enough quantity, you can set advanced permissions so that the category is only visible to customers from within the same country and save shipping efforts
Use case 3: Apply category permissions to specific groups of customers
Business goals:
- Change category visibility for different types of visitors.
- Build up relationships with special customer groups.
Default Magento technical limitations:
- You simply can't give different category permissions to customers.
Solutions
- Magento 2 Category Permissions enables restrictions so only specific groups can view a category.
- You can divide customers into wholesalers, retailers, or any other segment.
- For example, if you have a category of shoes that is only available to order in large quantities, you can set restrictions so the shoes will only be available for wholesalers on the website.
Use case 4: Restrict access to certain pages and blocks
Business goals:
- Extend the restriction applications to other parts of the website
- Make sure customers only receive suitable content.
Default Magento technical limitations:
- It's impossible to restrict access with the default Magento backend.
Solutions
- Support admins to set advanced permissions that restrict pages and blocks with specific customer groups.
- For example, you can limit sensitive content such as Return & Refund Policy or Commission Policy so guest visitors won't be able to see it. Only when they sign up, and they start seeing these policies for purchasing
Use case 5: Redirect restricted visitors
Business goals:
- Take restricted visitors to other pages
- Reduce the annoyance of restriction to have a better shopping experience.
Default Magento technical limitations:
- You can't set a certain URL for a group of visitors or customers.
Solutions
- Magento 2 Category Permissions provides URL Direction so limited visitors will see replaced pages or content.
- For example, if buyers don't have permission to view a product because they haven't reached a tier yet, you can guide them to another product of the same category and notify them about the program.
All of the feature updates plan and status will be updated as soon as possible in our public Trello.
