I have installed and configured a Magento Community edition v1.8 according to a few requirements. Part of the requirements is the setup of a few stores.
For completion though, it is necessary to configure "administrators" per se for each of these stores. This administrator, when (s)he logs in to the admin portal, would be viewing data, configuration and settings only for their respective store, and the rest(of the stores) is not shown (As is the case when one configures an admin role via System -> Permissions -> Roles).
When the main administrator logs in to the back-end portal, they should view options for assigning these smaller (so to speak) administrators to their respective admin website sites. This list should be updated when stores are added/deleted (and hence the excellent Alan Storm's blog is not of much help)
I have been looking at various tutorials that enable and manipulate ACL, although none of them specifically tackle allowing such specific administrator access.
Can someone kindly point the right resources for achieving such a functionality? Any help is very much appreciated and will be rewarded with karma points :)
(I forgot to mention that I am not looking for a turnkey solution, but rather a direction to proceed, so that I may configure it myself. Any resource in this regard will be very helpful!)
Aitoc has made an extension for admin restrictions per strore. But Aitoc is not my favorite :). And than I'm kind in my words :) honestly we set them to our extension Blacklist
