Permission Reference

Staff members must have permission 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 the Manage marketplace permission to staff members who are not marketplace operators. This permission grants access to seller data beyond their designated seller.
