It is aimed at CS-Cart store owners and administrators who manage admin, vendor, and customer accounts and want reliable, hands-off role assignment.

Frequently asked questions
Which user types can be auto-assigned to a user group?
The add-on covers all three account types in CS-Cart: admins, vendors, and customers. For each type you choose the user group to apply, for example an Administrator, Content Manager, or Sales Manager role for admins, or a Tester or Wholesale group for customers.
Does it assign user groups to accounts created through the API or Import?
By default it can, but you can disable auto-assignment for users created via the API or the Import tool. This keeps bulk-imported and programmatically created accounts out of the automatic assignment when you need finer control.
Will I be notified when a user group is assigned?
Yes. The add-on supports email notifications for each registration type, so you can receive an email when an admin, vendor, or customer is auto-assigned to a user group after registering.
Is this compatible with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor?
The add-on handles vendor registration and vendor user group assignment, which points to Multi-Vendor support. Share your CS-Cart edition and version and we will confirm compatibility for your setup.
