Role based administration would help the product in larger companies. A systems admin is different than a marketing person making edits to products. Admins don’t want to trust that a marketing person could attempt to alter page designs, payment information, and anything else that could crash the system. Here at LoJack, management asks “how did they even have access to that ?” And if I as the system admin am the only trusted one, every time a product or order changes I have to be the editor.

At a larger company, that’s a full time job (or even more), not a developer’s job. I.T. people should be the only system-wide admins, marketing and sales folks should have “editor” roles to the catalog and sales areas to make changes to products, categories, orders, and customer accounts.

We definitely see ZNode's store growing in usage within our company. Stronger role based entitlement would help it grow more quickly.
