Users, Roles, and Permissions
Essential knowledgeThe Fluent platform provides a comprehensive user role management system, allowing for the assignment of diverse permissions via roles to regulate platform access and functionalities. Custom roles can be created and fine-tuned, ensuring users only have access to appropriate functionality and data. The system provides flexibility to specify the scope for a role at different context levels, such as Accounts, Retailers, and Locations.- A role can be assigned to multiple users, and a user can be assigned multiple roles.
- Permissions are granular access controls and protect every GraphQL or REST API operations. GraphQL permissions follow specific naming conventions.
- Context plays a pivotal role in access levels, allowing users to have role-based access to data for specific Accounts, Retailers, or Locations.
Send Enhanced Inventory Attributes in Your Payloads
Essential knowledgeInventory payloads can include additional Inventory Quantity attributes to capture richer stock context.This article explains how to use the `attributes` object to include additional data in inventory payloads. It supports both simple key-value pairs and custom JSON structures to meet diverse business requirements - whether you’re:- managing detailed product information
- optimizing warehouse processes
- or integrating with custom workflows
The Inventory Reference Module supports a set of reference attributes that are persisted automatically, while custom attributes provide additional flexibility.- Prerequisites: To fully leverage the extended attributes functionality within the inventory payload, ensure that you are using the Inventory Reference Module v2.3.0 or later
- Flexible attribute structure: The
`attributes` object supports any combination of key-value pairs, including complex JSON structures and arrays. This flexibility allows you to customize the data sent in your inventory payloads to meet specific business needs - Use reference attributes first: Certain key attributes (such as
`associationType`, `associationRef`, `parentRef`, `expectedOn`, `expiresOn`, `condition`, `storageAreaRef`, `supplier`, `manufacturer`, `manufacturerBatchNumber`, `countryOfOrigin`, and `channel`) will be directly updated in the Inventory Quantity associated with the incoming record, facilitating seamless integration with existing fields - Use segment fields for flexible key-value extensions:
`segment1`, `segment2`, and `segment3` provide flexibility for additional flat classification data without introducing new custom attributes - Custom attribute availability: Any custom attributes that you include in the
`attributes` object will be available in workflows via `inventoryPosition.inventoryQuantity.attributes.<fieldName>`. This enables you to incorporate custom data into rule-based processes or other logic tailored to your business requirements
