Organization permissions in Organization Settings

Shopify Plus

Organization Settings are only available for organizations on the Shopify Plus plan.

At the organization level, there are four categories of permissions: Stores, Users, Analytics overview, and Billing. These permissions let staff members make changes to all the stores in your organization, including in stores where those users don't have store-level permissions.

For example, if you have four stores in your organization, then you can give a staff member the Users permission, and access to only one of the four stores. In this case, that staff member can manage user access, permissions, and security settings, including in stores where that staff member doesn't have store-level permissions.

Organization permissions are separate from store permissions. Some permissions let staff do things that can't be done from a store's Shopify admin, such as create a new store. Other permissions let staff perform actions that typically only a store's owner can perform, such as give staff members access to a store.

Users	Lets staff manage other users in your organization. This permission is for management of staff at the organization level.

Only a store owner can transfer ownership, and ownership can only be transferred from within the store. The organization owner is given the Users permission by default. You can't remove this permission from the organization owner.
Analytics overview	Lets staff view sales and order data. A staff member with this permission can perform the following tasks: View sales and order data for all stores in the organization. View sales and order data for specific stores. Access detailed reports from within a store's Shopify admin. Staff with this permission can view aggregate data for all stores across an organization in the Shopify admin. To view detailed reports in a store's Shopify admin, the staff member must have the Reports permission for that store.
Billing	Lets staff view bills and billing preferences, pay bills, and edit the billing profile, depending on the permission granted. The View bills and preferences, including payment methods permission lets staff review view past and upcoming bills, export bills, and view the information on the Billing profile page. The Pay bills and edit preferences, including payment methods permission lets staff review view past and upcoming bills, export bills, authorize and retry failed bill payments, and change the information on the Billing profile page.
