Admin can manage which tabs will be available to the vendors while adding/editing a product. For example, if admin disabled the “inventory” option, then users( or vendors) will not be able to see the “inventory” in their Dashboard while adding/editing products.
Following are the options you will find in the “Panel” section as shown in the screenshot below:
Let’s discuss the following options in details below:
Inventory: This option gives admin the capability to enable/disable the user(s) from accessing the inventory tab in edit/add product page:
ON: User(s) can access the “inventory” tab in add/edit product page.
OFF: User(s) are restricted to access the “inventory” tab in add/edit product page.
