Permissions determine the level of access that your staff have to your store.
Your staff might need specific permissions depending on their role, like Shopify POS login requirements. Carefully consider the permissions that you give to staff and collaborators.
Refer to Managing staff for more information about how to create or update staff accounts.
Store owner permissions
A Shopify store can only have one store owner. It's usually the person who opened the store. You can check who’s listed as the store owner by clicking on Settings > Users and permissions in your Shopify admin. Email messages from Shopify are sent to the store owner’s email address.
Some actions are only available to the store owner:
- change pricing plans
- update billing information
- manage payment options
- access Shopify Capital settings
- choose a new store owner
- list your store on the Shopify Exchange marketplace
You can transfer store ownership to another staff member.
