What are Shopmatic’s User permissions?
Shopmatic’s User permissions allow a Shopmatic seller to create sub-accounts under their own account, so that they may engage different parties to manage different parts of their Shopmatic account.
Example: A designer only being able to access the Edit Site function, a marketing expert managing only the SEO, Tracking and a Sales Manager only being able to manage the Customers and Orders page.

Creating sub-accounts is entirely optional. Creating sub-accounts can be useful if you want different users to have only limited access to your Shopmatic account.
