More specically, the security conguration allows this user to edit only the Bikes and Ac-
cessories categories in the Retail group, but the user cannot edit categories in the Wholesale
group. Let’s look rst at the effect of these permissions on the user’s experience on the Pro-
ductCategory page (shown in Figure 7-19). The lock icon in the rst column indicates that the
Components and Clothing categories are locked for editing. However, the user has Update
permission for both Bikes and Accessories, and can access the member menu for either of
these categories. The member menu, as shown in the gure, allows the user to edit or delete
the member, view its transactions, and add an annotation. Furthermore, the user can add new
members to the entity.

Last, Figure 7-20 shows the page for the Category derived hierarchy. Recall from Figure
7-19 that the user has Update permission for the Retail group. The user can therefore modify
the Retail member, but not the Wholesale member, as indicated by the lock icon to the left
of the Wholesale member in the ProductGroup table. You can also see the color-coding of
the labels in the tree view of the Category hierarchy, which indicates whether the member is
editable by the user. The user can edit members that are shown in black, but not the mem-
bers shown in gray. When the user selects a member in the tree view, the table on the right
displays the children of the selected member if the user has the necessary permission.
