Is it possible to build an extension that do these things:
add back-end permission control module for product and product category
auto create a product category and do related permission settings after creating a back-end user role
auto add related permission after users of the role creating a product
Set related permission to the role with Magento default function
Not good at explaining, hope this helps...

I found an extension which does exactly this. Here's what it says it can do:
This extension converts your store to a multiple sellers platform. The
admin can set the commission for each seller. The seller is able to
login from the frontend to track their sales and payout from the My
Account page.

Magento Something Like Marketplace Extensions

Hi Guys, I have been trying to find but all I can find was Marketplace. I needed something like Marketplace but without letting public Users to set the pricing. Users create their profile which in this case is registered membersAdmin will create different categories in the website like : Home, About Us, Gallery ( This will act as a Product Page with different sub categories ), Products, Contact UsUsers can upload their "Products" in our Galleries with the following limitations :Users can upload their "Products" in our Gallery or Products or any Products related section. Not About Us, Contact Us.Users will be able to upload only a fix number of "Products" depending on the membership fee they purchase from usUsers will not be able to set their "Product" prices, Admin will set itAdmin can also filter which "Product" to delete or approveUploaded "Product" will also be able to navigate from the Uploader's ProfileAny "Products" that is being sold, % amount of the sales will be credited into their account or any other payment method ( Kindly advise on this )Not sure whether is it confusing. Hope you guys understand. Thanks guys in advance.
I do not exactly know the marketplace extension, but I think, it should be possible to change the template/controller logic of this module, to prevent that resellers can define a custom product price.
Perhaps you can ask the developers of marketplace if they would customize the extension to your needs. The support for payed magento extensions is very often better than expected.

Magento Ingestion with Junglee

How do you integrate Magento with Jungle?
I have heard that you would need to create user permissions for Jungle, however, i am not too sure how Jungle would access by Magento panel and extract data. Can anyone help with more info?
You need to create a soap user with just catalog view/edit permissions. And I think you also need to create product XML feeds. Its better to approach junglee tech support team for more details.

How to make single admin to access single store products only

In magento I am having 3 websites and it contains 6 to 7 store views. I want as a single admin has to access single store products only. He should not modify the products in another stores. How can I do this?
I have read in magneto documentation as to create new admin in system/permissions/roles and modify there. But trying with this, the new admin is restricted to only creating of products or for dashboard or for shippings or for tax module only. But I need like the new admin has to be accessed to only one store only..
So how can I do this??
I know this is a little late reply but anyone who is interested, answer from mprototype is perfectly valid as long as you/your client uses a Magento Enterprise edition. Checked in versions 1.12 and above.
When you goto :
System -> Permissions -> Roles
While defining the role you can choose custom scope and checkbox the stores you want then to have access to.
I don't know if I am late but any of these will do what you are looking for. In fact, it will provide even more flexibility.

Magento: adding product from frontend form

I have magento demo shop and for example i want registered user to be available to post a product from frontend? Can anyone hook me up with some code showing how to make it? Is it even possible in magento?
It's certainly possible. It actually shouldn't be all that difficult. You're going to create a module, programmatically create an order, and link this page from somewhere. You should be able to hack one together with the following resources:
Programmatically Creating Orders - Inchoo
Creating a Custom Module part 1-8
yes dear it is possible, you have to create a module for that and i think you give to link/tab in customer account page in front side.in account page you provide form of add new product.you have also provide all option like in magento back end. but some customization are required

Magento user uploaded offers

Using Magento i want to create website where user can upload their products to sale, is it possible in magento ?
You can easily create a website to handle that, Magento give you an API that you can easily consume for creating products, etc ...
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/doc/webservices-api/introduction
But, why not just give your users an access to their webshop Administration area?
Its better you to create module for add products by users from their my account area. Check the saveAction in Mage/Adminhtml/Controllers/Catalog/ProductController.php .You may get more idea how to save product.
If you are planning to add only some members to add their products through backend, its better you to create users and assign permissions to add products from backend.
