# Product Permisions

The **Product Permissions** feature allows administrators to control who can view or edit product information within the system. This ensures data security and organization, especially when multiple users or groups collaborate on the same product catalog.

There are two main types of permissions:

* **Can View:** Users/groups with this permission can view product details but cannot edit or update product information.
* **Can Update:** Users/groups with this permission can edit product information, including updating descriptions, changing images, adjusting prices, and modifying other attributes.

### How to set product permissions

**Step 1: Navigate to Product**

* From the **left-hand toolbar**, go to the **Product** section.

**Step 2: Select the product you want to set permissions for.**

* Use the search bar to quickly locate the product you want to manage.
* You can search for a product by entering:
  * **Product ID** (a unique identifier for each product).
  * **Labels or Tags** that categorize the product.
  * **Related keywords** found in the product description or metadata.

**Step 3: Go to the Product Details**

* Once you find the product, click the **pencil icon** next to the product name to open the product's details page.

**Step 4: Product Permission** &#x20;

* In the product details page, switch to the **Permission** tab.
* **Select a User/Group** and the corresponding **Can View or Can Update** permission.
* Click the **Submit** button to apply the new permissions

If a user belongs to multiple groups with different permission levels, the highest permission will apply. For example, if one group has **Can View** permission and another has **Can Update**, the user will have **Can Update** access.
