Configuring Store Access Permissions

Configuring store permissions gives you control over who can access the store's management interface.

The setup of store permissions is split into two parts:

• Allowing access to the Commerce section

• Allowing access to manage a store

Allow Access to the Commerce Section

Store management is done through the Commerce section in the backoffice. To allow access to this section, you need to either create or update a user group and assign access to the Commerce section.

1. Navigate to the Users section of the backoffice.

2. Create a new user group or edit an existing one.

3. Find the Allowed Sections property.

4. Select the Commerce section.

1. Save the changes.

Assign Users to the User Group

After creating the user group, you can assign users to it allowing them access to the Commerce section.

1. Navigate to the Users section of the backoffice.

2. Edit the user you want to assign to the user group.

3. Select the new user group in the Groups property.

1. Save the changes.

After assigning the user to the user group, they have the Commerce section in the backoffice.

At this point the user has access to the Commerce section, they will not yet be able to manage any stores. To give access to managing a store, you need to allow access to manage a store.

Allow Access to Manage a Store

To allow a user to manage a store, you must assign store permissions from the store's settings.

1. Navigate to the Settings section of the backoffice

2. Open the Stores area.

3. Select the store you want to assign permissions to.

4. Click the Permissions tab in the Store editor.

1. Select the new user group in the User Roles property.

2. Save the changes.

After assigning the user group to the store, users in that group can manage the store.
