1: Restrict Category
With Magento 2 restrict products extension, you can restrict any category by any customer group. The following example has restricted ‘Bags’ category. You have access to the other categories ‘Fitness Equipment’ & ‘Watches’.
As a Magento store owner, you come across situations where you need to restrict some section(s) of your store. You may want to display specific products to specific customer groups to make sure only the right products are displayed to the right users. For example, you have different products for wholesalers & retailers and want to restrict wholesale products to wholesale customers only and vice versa. You may also want to give a limited access to not logged in customers and so on. Hiding sections of your store to the right customers or customer groups will avoid unnecessary visits of irrelevant visitors and save the store resources.
