How to Add Staff Accounts in Shopify

Invite team members and give them only the permissions they actually need.

Sharing one login is a security and accountability problem. Staff accounts give each person their own access with a permission set you control.

1

Open Users and permissions

Go to Settings, then Users and permissions in your Shopify admin.

2

Add a staff member

Click Add staff, enter their name and email, and send the invitation.

3

Choose permissions carefully

Grant only what the role needs. Most staff do not need settings, payouts, apps or the ability to edit theme code.

4

Require two-step authentication

Ask every staff member to turn on two-step authentication, and enforce it in your security settings where available.

5

Review access regularly

Remove accounts when people leave and review permissions every few months.
