Is there a method to login to section depending on the Username/Password entered on entry to the site?

May seem like a strange question but I would like to be able to sell to different clients and letting them think that they are the only people using the catalog. Example :-

I have three main corporate accounts company AB, ABC and ABCD - I would like to create sections for each client but without either of them being aware of the other two. Sectioning the products seems logical but i need to know if a mechanism exists to only allow certain clients to see their own section and nothing else.

I really hope that this explanation is clear :)

Regards

This is possible in Actinic as explained below, but there are limitations:

Only for Business and Developer

1. Make sure you have customer accounts set up
2. Create a 'Price schedule' (View|Price schedule) For example: German, America, etc
3. Associate the customer account with the price schedule
4. * Click on a product, under the Price tab you can choose to have the product visible or not from one another, by unchecking the 'product visible' box.

* The limitation within this method as illustrated above is that you cannot hide the sections but the products within the sections.
Every customer, will be able to enter the product section hidden from them but the product will not be visible.

I hope this is clear and sheds some light in what you wish to achieve.

Make sure that you enter a price for the retail schedule, even if you are not going to be using it because if you don't then no prices are displayed against the product (although you do see them if you add to basket).
