Hi,

 

We have an issue with 2 projects we are working on:

  • Have a company as a "user"
  • Have employees as "sub-users"
  • Employees place orders in the name of the company
  • Employees see all company orders (in the order history)

 

We start to see this more and more with integrations. What would be the best way to do this?

 

Here's the current limitation and conclusions we got:

  • We can't use impersonation, because we need that to work as it is
  • Company and User share the same Customer Number and we would create a checkbox to set the "Company" user and/or set them to a specific group (Companies)
  • We would have to develop a Cart Notification and update the AccessUserID in the Order (assign to the Company's AccessUserID)
  • We would have to develop/change the order history to pull company's order history instead of their own

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi guys,

 

Since a few people are on vacation, maybe this fell through the cracks. Let's see if I peek anybody's interest :)

Hi Nuno

We do not support this behavior currently. But when a user has a customer number, that customer number is added to the orders table ([OrderCustomerNumber] field) - so if 2 different users share the same customer number, the order will be stamped withe the same customer number but different user ids.

You would like an option to display orders in the customer center based on the customer number and not the userid?

Hi NIcolai,

 

Yes very much, that would do the trick. How easily can it be done?

Ok, thanks.

 

In the meanwhile, what would be my options to get this to work? Is there a Method we can use or should we just build our own SQL query?

 

Best Regards,
