[ic] Limiting access to item by user

[Dan Browning]

> I have a problem that I hope that Interchange can solve.  We have a 
> client that has two different sets of items to sell on their website. 
> One set of items is retail items for the public, anyone can 
> order from 
> this set of items.  The other is a wholesale list of items 
> that can only 
> be accessed by our client's few dozen or so wholesellers.  Our client 
> needs to be able to limit who can see an item in the 
> wholesale list by 
> wholeseller so one wholeseller cannot see what another wholeseller is 
> able to buy.
> 
> I've seen a couple of references to wholesale items in the

> files but I don't see how to translate that into limiting
