Managing staff
You can add staff to your store so that your staff can complete tasks in your Shopify admin. You can give permissions to your staff to allow you to manage what your store’s staff can view, and what they can do in your Shopify admin or Shopify POS. Thepricing planthat your store is on determines how many staff you can add, in addition to the store owner.
By default, staff have no permissions and need to be given permissions. There are some actions that only a store owner has permission to do. Carefully consider whichpermissionsyou give to your staff. For security reasons, only create one staff login per staff.
Giving a staff member a staff login also helps them get more specialized support. Shopify Support offers advice and assistance based on the permissions the staff member has. If your staff member has a staff account, then Shopify Support can give detailed support in all the areas of the admin that the staff member has access to. If your staff member doesn't have a staff account, then Shopify Support can only provide general advice.
