Adding New Users

Adding New Users

Shopit allows you to add an unlimited number of users to manage all or parts of your eCommerce store.

Understanding Roles


Creating a role allows you to define what a user can view and edit, and which sales channels they have access to. Once created, you allocate your new user to that role.
  1. Go to Settings > Users and Roles
  2. Click Create Role ( you may want to review the privileges created for Admin and Developers first)
  3. Give the Role a name e.g. Sales Channel 1 Admin; or Warehouse Picker
  4. Go through each option and set the access accordingly
  5. Click Create to save 
You can create as many roles as you want, irrespective of whether individuals are allocated to them.



Adding a New User

When you create a user, Shopit asks for some basic information like Name, email address and password. You will allocate that user a role on the website, and can choose whether they are enabled or disabled.

  1. Go to Settings > Users and Roles
  2. Click Create User
  3. Go through each field and enter the information required
  4. Choose which Role you want them to have - noting the above options for single sales channel users
  5. Choose whether this user is Disabled (cannot login)
  6. Give them a password - they can change this themselves when logging in
  7. Check the box to email the details to them if you wish
You may wish to login as that role type first, in order to understand which that user can and cannot see first.
