# Roles & Permissions

> Role-based access control for your team

Stashlify uses role-based access control to ensure each team member sees only what they need. Each role is fully isolated — staff and sellers can only access features their role permits.

## Available roles

| Role               | Access Level         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

## Granular permissions

Merchant admins can fine-tune what each staff or seller account can access. When creating or editing an account in Account Management, use the "Set permissions as seller" toggle to grant seller-level access to a staff account. All role changes take effect immediately.

<Note>
  Every role is isolated per organization. A staff member in one store cannot see or access data from another store. Give each employee the minimum level of access they need to do their job.
