#Enterprise Edition (EE) permission application

You may ask yourself how EE permissions apply to the event subscription. Indeed, Akeneo PIM uses the permissions related to the connection user group to filter what it is supposed to send or not.

That's why when you enable the event subscription & setup your connection permissions, you have to keep in mind the following information:

• Akeneo PIM sends events on products your connection can view.
• Akeneo PIM sends product events even if the updated values aren't accessible by the connection.

Here are more explanations and a couple of examples.

#Permissions based on categories

To receive an event, your connection user group must, at least, view one of the product categories.
N.b. By default, if the product is Unclassified, the connection will receive the event.

#Permissions based on attribute groups

The ERP code of a product is updated. Your e-commerce connection doesn't have access to the attribute group containing the ERP code but will receive an event anyway. There will be no mention of the newly updated ERP code in the event payload to respect the permission granted at the attribute group level.

#Permissions based on locales

Another example, the translation team updates the Italian description of the product. Your e-commerce connection doesn't have access to the Italian locale but will receive an event anyway. There will be no mention of the newly updated Italian description in the event payload to respect the permission granted at the locale level.
