Manage Groups

The Manage Groups menu displays all the groups in your store.  In a default installation, there are seven groups used for administering the entire system.  Only one of those groups as full access to every area - this is the Super User group.  Any user who is assigned to this group will have full access to all pages within the Merchant Menu, including the Audit Logs and Licensing.

Other store management groups are included for your convenience.  These are shown in the example, and the permissions of each group are described below.  You can create any number of custom groups to manage and organize your customers.  These groups would not have admin permissions, but instead, they can be used to activate particular features or pricing for members of the group.

  • Admins - These second-level administrator can do 'almost' everything. Limitations are as follows:
    - cannot view other admin user profiles
    - cannot assign admin permissions to other users
    - cannot view the audit log
    - cannot change installation settings or encryption key

  • Catalog Admins - Users of this group can change and update features within the Catalog menu, such as adding products or categories.

  • Jr. Admins - Users of this group can access all store administration pages except for features within the Configure or User menus.

  • Order Admins - Users of this group can manage orders, payments and shipping.

  • Report Admins - Users of this group can only view the reports.

  • Super Users - This is the top-level group.  Any member of this group will have full access to every feature in the Merchant Menu.
