Clients track sales via personal account

[Anna718]

I have done a fair bot of searching to try and see if this can be achieved, and the first thing I want to point out is that what I am looking for is NOT a mall script

I do not want clients to be able to add their own products, but I do want to be able to sell products that belong to others. It may help if I explain the concept.... I will be selling canvas photogrpahic prints. My own images will be used, but I also want to be able to canvas other photographers within the genre to allow me to sell their images printed on our canvas. My people will be handling all the printing, invoicing, etc.

What I would ideally be looking for is a way that a photographer could log into their account and simply be presented with sales of their images. Something that would enable them to track sales is all, NOT to add extra products.

Suggestions I have seen advising people to go for a mall script would not work for us. Other suggestions to use the multi admin mod would again not work. Both would allow others to add products, and this we do NOT want.

Basically I guess I am looking for something that would allow accounts to be designated as one of the "manufacturers" and thus any sales made for that manufacturer would show in an area of the individuals account space. Payments owing to them would still be processed by us, but they would be able to be advised of sales made for their images.

I hope someone can help with this.

Admin Profiles is supposed to be able to limit access to only selected areas, and you could most likely have them restricted to Reports with the stock version. It would take some more customization to limit the reports to those associated with the user's account.

Thanks, but I would prefer to avoid the complication of having people accessing any area of the admin section due to potential security compromises.

I was really hoping something was already out there as it should not be too difficult to code an account set up by an admin to include an extra row of data in output.
