Did you add this?

 

<location path="Admin/Catalog">

Yes. I still cannot access any of the admin functions. The web config looks like this

 

 

<configuration>
    <appSettings/>
    <connectionStrings/>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="120" maxRequestLength="20000"/>
        <authorization>
            <allow roles="Administrator"/>
            <deny users="*"/>
        </authorization>
    </system.web>

<location path = "Admin/Catalog">

    <system.web>

      <authorization>
            <allow roles="Administrator,ProductAdmin"/>

      </authorization>
   </system.web>

</location>
</configuration>

 

 

 

No. Still the same probelm. I cannot access that page. It takes me the login page even though i am logged in when i try to access products page.

 

I added this to the sitemap,

 

<siteMapNode url="/Admin/Catalog/Products.aspx" title="$resources:Common,Products" useSSL="false" allowedRoles="Administrator,ProductAdmin" helplink="Online%20Help/Product%20Management/Managing%20Products.aspx" />

 

 

Is this right? Just making sure i didn't miss out anything in sitemap.

 

I registered username lukez on your site. Would you please assign me the ProductAdmin role? I could take a look myself.

I wasn't trying it on the live site. I was testing on the demo version i downloaded couple of weeks back. When i tried these changes on the live site, the site is crashing. 

 

 

Server Error in '/' Application

To receive the exception email, you find the following section in web.config and update email address.

 

    <loggingConfiguration name="Logging Application Block" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="General" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="true">

        <listeners>

            <add toAddress="youremail@domain.com" fromAddress="system@domain.com" subjectLineStarter="Unhandled Execption: "

 

Or you can use this to get exception stack.

Here is the stack

Custom event details:
 

 

Roll back your sitemap changes. You need to update the existing siteMapNode rather than add a new one with the same name.

OK. I updated the siteMapNode and the web.config for admin.

 

I can login as the ProductAdmin user but can't access the admin functions. I assigned your login to the ProductAdmin role too. You can login now and take a look yourself.
