Information on Umbraco Commerce Stores
Stores represent a single shop / commercial entity and contain all the settings a configuration specific to that particular store. They are the root entity from which all other Umbraco Commerce entities are connected. They are also able to be linked to content nodes to connect a store to a site.
General settings for a store can be accessed via the UI by clicking on a store node in the Settings > Commerce section.

User Groups - A set of toggles to allow/deny access to members of a particular user group.
Users - A set of toggles to allow/deny access to explicit individuals.
In both cases, a positive access control will always override a deny control setting.
