Manage staff roles

What does this do for me?

Control which staff members can create imports, approve changes, execute operations, and manage the app. Role assignments are stored per shop and require an administrator to manage.

Available roles

The first staff member to complete workspace setup automatically becomes the admin.

1. Open team settings

  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select Team access.

2. Assign a role

  1. In the Assign role section, enter the Shopify staff ID of the staff member.
  2. Select the Role: Operator, Approver, Executor, or Admin.
  3. Select Save assignment.
The staff ID is the identifier that Shopify provides in the session token. Staff members do not need to be in the app first.

3. Change or remove a role

  1. In the Assignments list, find the staff member.
  2. Select Remove role to delete their assignment.
An admin cannot remove their own role, even after assigning another admin. Another administrator must remove that assignment.

4. Understand the authorization matrix
