definately not on the front end, because the idea is for merchants/user groups to log in and create products, not sure if i can achieve the same results with Expression engine and cartthrob, am not really sure if cartthrob has this feature

<p>I want site members to login and create products in Craft Commerce, so the products they create should only be visible to them on the back-end, e.g,  user (A) should login and view his products in Craft Commerce, user (B) logs in and only see his products.  How can I achieve this in Craft Commerce?</p>
