Need to set permission on a set of members. Setting Hierarchy member permission does not appear to work

Our business requires us to set permission by divisions. For example, division A can only update/change division A managed products and division B can only update/change division B managed products, etc. (Users of both divisions can read each other's products).

How could I accomplish this? I tried to set permissions on a derived hierarchy called Product By Division. But i did not get the desired result:

  • On the excel add-in, even though division A products are greyed out for division B users, division B users can still change any of the division A products and publish successfully.
  • On the web UI, division B users can't change division A products (good) but they can change their division attribute to A and save it. Also, add new member is diabled for all users.

I appreciate any insights on how to solve this.

Did you ever discover the solve to this issue? I am seeing the same thing in my production environment, but I cannot replicate it in our QA environment.

Any information on how you solved this would be helpful!
