Frequently Asked Questions - Advanced ACL Management
Buy Now1. What is the Advanced ACL Management Plugin used for?
The Advanced ACL Management Plugin is designed to enhance the default Access Control List (ACL) functionality in nopCommerce.
It replaces the standard ACL interface with a more intuitive and efficient version that allows administrators to manage user permissions quickly using filters, sorting, and a flat table layout.
2. Where can I find the configuration option for this plugin?
You can configure the plugin from the admin area by navigating to: Admin → NopAdvance → Plugins → Advanced ACL Management → Configure
3. What happens when I enable the plugin?
Once enabled, the plugin overrides the default nopCommerce ACL page. The traditional nested category layout is replaced with a flat, searchable, and sortable list view, allowing you to manage permissions and roles more efficiently.
If you disable the plugin, the system will revert back to the default nopCommerce ACL interface.
4. What improvements does the plugin bring compared to the default ACL?
The plugin introduces several improvements, including:
- A flat list view of all permissions (no need to expand categories).
- Advanced filters by permission name, category, and customer role.
- Multi-select dropdowns for category and role selection.
- Pagination and sorting support for large permission lists.
5. Can I still manage permissions for multiple roles at once?
Yes. The plugin doesn’t change nopCommerce functionality which allows you to assign or remove multiple roles for any permission directly from the edit popup using a multi-select tag interface.
6. Does the plugin modify or add new permissions?
No. The plugin does not create or modify permissions. It only enhances the display and management interface for existing ACL permissions within nopCommerce.
7. Can I use this plugin along with other ACL-related plugins?
Yes, as long as the other plugins do not override the same ACL management page in your nopCommerce admin.
