Use product approvals

Hello,

Product approval is not to make the product published or not ; it's made to require a store validation.
In the toolbar you can see "products to approve" ; which will list you the product that need to be approved by the store owner (via the backend or the front-end).

If you want a product be published automatically, you have to use a "product template" thus you will have a control on the default values when a vendor is creating a new product (and if the vendor do not have ACL on a field, the value in the template is used)

Regards,
