Add staff users and set permissions

Add staff users so other people can help you run your store from Store Manager. You choose what each staff user can do, from a few tasks to full control. All Shopnix plans let you add as many staff users as you like.

Set permissions

Choosing permissions for each staff user is available on the Mega plan (Premium on older plans). On other plans you see an upgrade prompt instead. See Upgrade or renew your plan.

After you add a Normal User, the User Permission section lists the permissions they have. You choose them from a list of about 190 permissions, for example Store → Product → Add, Store → Order → Modify or Store → Report → Stock Report. Each permission controls one menu item or action in Store Manager.

  1. In Store Manager → Setup → Users, click the staff user's name.
  2. In the permissions table, find the permission you want to take away. For example, Store → Catalog → Type → Delete lets the user delete types.
  3. Click the remove button on the right of that row.
  4. Click Save.

Add extra details to a staff user

Use the Additional Details tab to store extra information about a staff user as a tag name and tag value, for example Age and 20.

  1. Click the staff user's name in the Name column.
  2. Open the Additional Details tab.
  3. Enter the Tag name and Tag value.
  4. Click Add.

Create an API key

Each staff user can have an API Key. Other software uses this key to connect to your store. To create one, click the user's name, generate the key next to API Key and save. You can regenerate the key at any time. See Connect other software with the API.

View or delete staff users

  1. Go to Store Manager → Setup → Users to see everyone who can log in to Store Manager. The store owner (admin) is marked with an icon.
  2. To delete a staff user, click the delete icon at the end of their row.
  3. Confirm in the pop-up.
