    Only showing certain attributes to specific customers

    We sell retail, wholesale and OEM pricing. Is there a way to have an attribute appear only to a specific customer that buys product OEM? It's the same product minus retail packaging. I guess I'm looking to have attributes with their own availability groups?

    A couple options come to mind.

    First, you will need to make all your attributes not required. If you need validation, you would need to add it on the front end using JavaScript.

    Then in your attribute layout template you could use toolkit to see if a customer is part of an availability group. If they are in the group limit or show them the correct attributes and hide the others. This would make it so they only see certain attributes depending on which availability groups they are apart of.

    The second option is to use toolkits dynamicattributebasket function. This allows you to add an any attribute to a product even though it is not defined in the admin. Using this method you could check to see if the customer is in an availability group and add the correct attributes to the product when they add it to the cart.

      A third option would be to have two products: one with the special attributes available, one without. Put the one with the special attributes in an availability group. More maintenance, but less coding.
