Prerequisite: Read the Areas and stores guideIf you aren’t familiar with the structure or assignment rules or areas and stores in general, read the Areas and stores reference guide first.
Read this scenario to learn how areas and stores can be used in practice.

​
Scenario setup

The project is set up as follows.

​
Available areas and stores

In this project, there are three areas. Each area has three stores:
  • France area: Lyon, Marseille, Paris
  • Germany area: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich
  • Poland area: Katowice, Kraków, Warsaw

​
Restricted user assignments

The Restricted user has the following access:
  • France area only; This does not include its individual stores.
  • All stores in Germany; This includes Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, but not the Germany area entity itself.
  • Specific stores in Poland; Katowice, Kraków, Warsaw, but not the Poland area and not the All stores option.

​
Campaign assignments

There are five campaigns
  • Lyon-Coupons: Lyon store
  • Hamburg-Munich-Coupons: Hamburg and Munich stores
  • Germany-Area-Coupons: Germany area only
  • France-Area-and-Lyon-Coupons: France area and Lyon store
  • Poland-All-Stores-Coupons: All stores in the Poland area

​
What the Restricted user can do

In this scenario, Use means the ability to perform:
  • Qualification
  • Validation
  • Redemption
The Restricted user can interact with campaigns as follows.
Result: No accessThe user is assigned to the France area, but the campaign is assigned to the Lyon store.Area access does not automatically include store access. There is no overlap between assignments.The user cannot view, edit, or use this campaign.
Result: Full access (View, Edit, Use)The user is assigned to All Stores in Germany, which includes Hamburg and Munich.The user’s assignments include all campaign assignments.The user can:
  • View the campaign
  • Edit the campaign
  • Use the campaign (qualification, validation, redemption)
Result: No accessThe user has access to German stores, but the campaign is assigned to the Germany area.Stores and area entities are separate assignment levels. There is no overlap.The user cannot view, edit, or use this campaign.
Result: Limited access (View and Use only)The campaign is assigned to:
  • France area
  • Lyon store
The user is assigned only to the France area. There is partial overlap.The user can:
  • View the campaign
  • Use the campaign (qualification, validation, redemption)
However, the user cannot edit or delete it because they are not assigned to the Lyon store.
Result: Limited access (View and Use only)The campaign is assigned to All Stores in Poland.The user is assigned to specific stores:
Katowice, Kraków, Warsaw.Even if these stores match the current list, the campaign is assigned to a broader scope (All Stores).Because the user does not have the full assignment scope, they:
  • Can view the campaign
  • Can use the campaign (qualification, validation, redemption)
  • Cannot edit or delete the campaign
If a new store (for example, Gdynia) is added to the Poland area, the campaign will apply to it automatically. The user will still not have full overlap.

​
