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

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

Configuring Company Group Settings

Basic Settings

Set the group Status to Active (required for the group to function)
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 SettingsAccount
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

Click the Companies Connected tab
Click Add to select companies to include in this group
Select the desired companies for this group.
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

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

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)

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

How Access Validation Works

When a user attempts to access a restricted configurator:

The system checks if the user is logged in
It verifies if the user's company is connected to a company group
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
