To organize the permissions of users who have access to the Bright Market admin, the platform works with roles.
Roles define which resources the user can view and/or change within each module of the platform. Each profile gives permission to access different areas and resources of the Admin.
You can create new profiles and set permissions for them. Or you can use the predefined profiles, which are configured on the platform by default. Predefined profiles usually meet the vast majority of needs across all modules.
Poor management of your admin roles can have serious consequences for your business.
Select the Admin option in the top bar navigation.
In the side menu you will find the Organization option. There you can edit the general data of your organization:

The Catalog menu contains the features related to the product assortment of each of your stores. In order for you to work with your products and optimize your assortment, you need to add them to this Admin menu first.
The Catalog section enables the setup of capabilities related to the assortment of products, such as their categories, brands, suppliers, and attributes, for example.
This section includes the following pages:
Catalog architecture is based on four fundamental concepts:
When classifying or organizing your catalog, it's recommended that you present your products through the following hierarchical levels: Department, Category and Subcategory.
Departments
The Department is the first level of categorization for your catalog. Departments are sections or sectors that classify the areas of your business. When classifying or organizing your catalog, it's recommended that you present your products through the following hierarchical levels: Department, Category and Subcategory.
Categories
Categories exist for the purpose of organizing your product assortment within your company. They work as hierarchical levels of product classification. The organization by category makes your search for a product easier and keeps your catalog organized. The term "category" is typically used to refer to a generic segmentation concept.
Subcategory
This level is under the Category level, according to the classification hierarchy.
We suggest that your company’s category trees have no more than three levels of hierarchy. This will allow you to browse your catalog with more ease.
Examples
A drugstore network may have Departments called Prescription Drugs, Hygiene and Makeup. Within each of these three large sections, products are organized into Sub Categories, which are then further segmented.
Within the Hygiene category, we can create a subcategory called Personal Care. And then, another Subcategory called Soaps can be added to this segment.
Categories are interlinked, therefore, a product associated with the Soaps Subcategory is also part of the Personal Care parent Category and the Hygiene main Category.
For a Product to be made available in your store, it needs to be part of a category and be linked to at least one SKU.
Bright Market Catalog structure requires that a SKU can only be created after defining the product information, since the SKU itself is the product variation. Therefore, we can say that a SKU is the physical unit of a product in stock.
Bright Market Catalog architecture also includes Attributes, which are a category’s registered properties that attribute specific characteristics to that product and SKUs linked to it.
