Prerequisites
Before setting up product limitations, make sure that you have a working Magento 2 store and have administrative access to it. Additionally, you should have at least one product added to your store.
Step 1: Login to your Magento 2 Admin Panel
Log in to your Magento 2 Admin Panel using your administrative credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the Products section in the left-hand menu and select the Catalog option.
Step 2: Choose the Product You Want to Limit
Select the product you want to restrict from the product list. Once you have selected the product, click on the Edit button to edit the product.
Step 3: Configure Product Limitations
In the Product Edit page, navigate to the Product in Websites tab. Here, you will see a section called "Product Limitations".
Customer Groups
If you want to restrict the visibility of the product to certain customer groups, select the Customer Groups option. You can select one or more customer groups from the list that you want to restrict the product to. If you want to apply the same restriction to all customer groups, select the "ALL GROUPS" option.
Store Views
If you want to restrict the visibility of the product to certain store views, select the Store Views option. You can choose one or more store views from the list where you want the product to be visible. If you want to apply the same restriction to all store views, select the "ALL STORE VIEWS" option.
Date Range
If you want to restrict the visibility of the product to a specific date range, select the Date Range option. Here, you can specify the start and end dates for the product limitation. Once the specified date range is over, the product will automatically become visible to all customers and store views.
Save Configuration
Once you have configured the product limitations, click on the Save button to apply the changes. Your product will now be restricted based on the configuration you made.
