Descriptions of organization role permissions
Permissions grant or restrict access to specific areas of your Shopify admin, and granular tasks within those areas. At the organization level, there are multiple categories of permissions. These permissions let users make changes to all the stores in your organization, including in stores where those users don't have store-level permissions. You can assign permissions to user roles to determine the level of access that a user role has to your organization.
