In order to effectively run your online business, having a user account is imperative. This serves as a safeguard against unauthorized access by individuals who may seek to manipulate your control panel for illicit purposes. Fortunately, BigCommerce offers us the capability to generate and handle user authorization for specific sections of your site. This is an exceptional attribute, particularly when we require multiple individuals to take care of our BigCommerce store.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on adding user permissions to your BigCommerce store. But first, let’s discuss the user roles and the various functions of permissions.
Who is a User?
In BigCommerce, a user refers to an individual who can be granted access to your store's control panel and admin. For example, business owners often create multiple users for their organization's team members, assigning specific permissions for each user. This allows them to perform their respective roles without interfering with other areas of the website. The permissions granted may also include access to individual apps on the BigCommerce App Store, which can be accessed with just a single click.
By creating individual user accounts that correspond to each team member's specific duties, you can streamline workflow and minimize the potential for human error. This approach not only allows you to assign responsibilities to designated users but also permits users to access specific applications for their work.
The business wonders can create some "core" uses for their marketing,
business development, and design teams. Here's how each team can work with a
different role.
The Different Types of Permissions
When a new user is added to the store's control panel, they can be assigned predefined permission groups known as user roles for specific tasks performed by certain staff members. These permissions can be individually selected to create a tailored user role for staff members who require various levels of access to perform their job duties within the store.
There are three common reasons for having user access:
To facilitate the daily management tasks of a store, every user must set up
their own account. However, access permissions are restricted solely to
their designated areas of responsibility.
