I am using the latest Quicksilver version

You can switch to windows authentication. and create an administrator

Hi,

You should not manipulate the roles or permissions directly in SQL Server. In your case, make sure to add your newly created administrative user to Administrators, WebAdmins and WebEditors in CMS/Access Rights/Search User/Group. Search for that user and add it to those groups.

Regards,

Hmm, this is strange.
If I add a user using the CMS user interface and add the person to the Administrator group I cannot login to the Commerce Manager.
If I add a user with the same username using this plugin:

I can suddenly log in to the Manager. So it looks like the Authentication are use new AspNet but the Auhtorization is using the Asp_Net tables and roles connected to a user with the same username in CMS.
Maybe a miss in my configuration or something?

That's even more strange. Which version of Commerce are you using?

/Q

We have a regular Quicksilver installation for demo purpose here: http://quicksilver.authoritycloudhosting.com.
I tried to add a regular user today but I could not access the Commerce Manager. Please feel free to try on your own. You can use the regular Quicksilver credentials.

Thanks!

Yes we are currently working on being able to edit user details and add roles for any authenitcation provider in cms admin mode.  For now you must use the plugin you mentioned above.  

That is good. Do you need to add the user in both places to be able to access Commererce Manager as the solution is built today?

Thanks Mark!

No should only have to add to identity roles if commerce manager is setup to use identity to like quicksilver is.  If you added in the database you probably need to iisreset becasue entity framework identity uses alot of caching
