Warning: If content managers, sales managers, promotion specialists work with your site, do not provide them with your access rights. For security reasons, create a new user for each employee in the admin panel and grant them access rights to match the functions they perform.

Managing site users and creating new accounts for users is done in Settings → Users.

Access rights to the site

Access rights to information in the site's admin panel depend on the role assigned to the user. There are several different roles by default:

  • Owner. Has full access to all the admin panel functions, except for access to the site code.

  • Manager. The store manager can process orders, customize and fill the site. Has full access, except for user management and some other fine-tuning.

  • Content-manager. This user can only work on the content of the site: adding products and descriptions, uploading images. Such a user does not have access to orders and customers, and has limited access to site settings.

  • Marketing-specialist. This role is required if you involve third-party marketing, advertising, and SEO specialists in the work on your website. It has the same access rights as the owner, except for some important settings.

If you need a new role with certain capabilities, please contact the support team, specifying the name of the role and what access rights it needs. We accept such a request only from the site owner (owner role).
