What is the purpose of staff accounts?

The purpose of Shopify staff accounts is to give employees or team members controlled access to a store without sharing the store owner’s login credentials.

Staff accounts help businesses:

• Assign role-based permissions to each user.
• Limit access to sensitive areas such as billing and payments.
• Track which user performs administrative actions.
• Improve account security by avoiding shared passwords.
• Collaborate on orders, products, customers, and store management.
• Remove or modify a user’s access when their role changes.

In short, staff accounts provide secure, individual access for people who help manage a Shopify store.
