Permissions reference

Staff members must have certain permissions to access specific marketplace functions like product setup, inventory assignment, and order management. Restricting permissions limits the information and actions visible to a staff member in the dashboard.

Each permission grants a Manage level permission, which includes users comprehensive access, allowing them to create, view, modify, and delete information as needed.

caution

Do not assign any permission group with the Manage marketplace permission to staff members who are not marketplace operators. This permission grants access to seller data for every seller account in the marketplace.
