The Client Components tab in the client settings provides comprehensive control over access and permissions to different parts of the admin UI. This powerful feature allows you to customize what your users can see and do within the Norce admin interface, ensuring appropriate access levels for different roles and responsibilities.
Client components serve as the foundation for UI access control by:
- Permission management: Control read and edit access to different admin sections
- UI customization: Show or hide specific features based on user needs
- Field-level control: Manage permissions down to individual field levels
- License compliance: Automatically enforce feature restrictions based on your license
The admin UI is divided into several key sections, each with configurable permissions:
- Products: Product Catalog-, Product Information-Management and related features
- Pricing: Price management and pricing strategies
- Categories: Category structure and organization
- Parametrics: Product parameters metadata
- Shopping: Shopping cart and checkout features
- Promotions: Promotion management
- Customers: Customer data, Companies and relationship management
- Suppliers: Supplier information and relationships
- Integrations: Third-party system connections
- Channels: Feed management
- Settings: System configuration and administration
Each component section supports three distinct permission levels:
- Read access: View all information in the section
- Edit access: Modify and update data
- Complete functionality: Access to all features within the section
- View access: See all information but cannot make changes
- No editing: Prevents accidental modifications
- Information access: Maintains visibility for reference purposes
- Hidden sections: Component sections are completely invisible
- No functionality: Users cannot interact with restricted areas
- Clean interface: Reduces UI complexity for focused workflows
Many sections support granular field-level permission management:
- Individual field control: Enable or disable specific fields within sections
- Required field marking: Set fields as mandatory with visual indicators
- Custom validation: System warnings when required fields are empty
- Mark fields as favorites to display them prominently
