How to Create Restricted Access to Configurators in Mimeeq: A Step-by-Step Guide

Overview

This guide explains how to restrict specific configurators to certain customer groups in Mimeeq.

Creating Company Groups

1. Navigate to Settings
2. Select Data from the left menu
3. Click on Company Groups
4. Click Create to make a new company group
5. Enter a friendly name (e.g., "Customers Group 1")
6. The new group will open automatically for further configuration

Configuring Company Group Settings

Basic Settings

1. Set the group Status to Active (required for the group to function)
2. Review the Can Export 3D permission if you want to control 3D file exporting for this group

Note: The 3D export permission works in conjunction with your customer settings. To configure this:

• Go to Settings → Account
• Scroll to Show Export 3D Button
• Select your preferred option:

• Private: Only your company (Tier 1) users can export
• Public: Everyone can export
• Restricted: Only specified company groups can export

Adding Companies to Groups

1. Click the Companies Connected tab
2. Click Add to select companies to include in this group
3. Select the desired companies for this group.
4. Click Save

Important: A dealer/company can belong to multiple groups. Access permissions will be combined (if a company belongs to two groups, they'll have access to products restricted to either group).

Restricting Product Access

1. Go to the Products datagrid in the admin panel
2. Select the product you want to restrict
3. On the General tab, scroll to Status and Availability section
4. Find the Privacy Condition dropdown

1. Select one of the following options:

• Private: Only visible to your company's users (Tier 1)
• Public: Visible to everyone
• Restricted To: Available only to specific company groups (Tier 2)

3. If you select Restricted To, you'll see available company groups on the left
4. Drag the desired company groups to the right side side (restricted list)
5. Click Save

How Access Validation Works

When a user attempts to access a restricted configurator:

1. The system checks if the user is logged in
2. It verifies if the user's company is connected to a company group
3. It confirms if that company group has permission to access the specific product

Important Notes

• Product Group Embeds: You cannot restrict entire product group embeds, only individual configurators within the group
• Best Practice: When using product group embeds, restrict the individual configurators as needed
• All products with Private or Restricted To settings require user login to access

This is only available to the customers who use the Mimeeq auth library
