Tools and administration accesses for the Shopify organization admin

Shopify Plus

The Shopify organization admin is only available to the Shopify Plus plan.

There are two types of accesses at the organization level: tools accesses and administration accesses. Tools and administration accesses enable users to make changes to all the stores in your organization, including stores where those users don't have permissions at the store level.

For example, if you have four stores in your organization, then you can give a user the Flow access, and access to only one of the four stores. In this case, that user can create and edit workflows for all four stores and not just for the store where that user has access.

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

The organization owner is given the User management access by default. You can't remove this access from the organization owner.
Store management	Enables the user to manage the stores in your organization. A user with this access can create new stores and approve any additional plan fees that might be needed for the store.
