Accessing administration options on the Settings page

Staff need the Manage settings permission to access most but not all the administration options on the Settings page in the Shopify admin. This table lists the minimum required permissions that staff need to access the different options on the Settings page. However, staff members usually need to have more permissions to edit the settings within each option.

For more information about staff permissions, refer to Description of staff permissions.
