Give customers "Ownership" of product they have uploaded

Hello everyone!
What I am trying to do is, give the option to my users to upload a digital product. And give them the option to edit it later. And for that, they need permission to edit only the product that they have uploaded. I had an idea, of giving the product created a hidden metafield, with the user’s ID. And with that enable him to edit the products. But I have not yet tried it. My question is, is this the general way of doing this, and if there is a better way to do such things?

Hey @Zlatin_Zhelyazkov

Customer account API does not support writing to Product metafield objects. Here is the list of supported objects.

Is your idea to allow customers to create products? I would recommend you to reach our to the Partner community slack (ShopifyPartners.slack.com) and ask your question there. They will have better guidance.

@Zlatin_Zhelyazkov you could also try to post your use case/question on the Products board of this forum. They might have good insights too!
