Hello Everyone,
I want to restrict my staff by giving them permission to add, edit or update the products but not allow them to delete them.
How do I achieve this functionality?
I can give them permission of the “Products” Section but I am not able to restrict their actions in this section.
Is there any way that I can do this?
Hello @Gorilla17 !
This is Lana from Shopify.
When it comes to staff permissions, at the moment you will find that it is a bit limited in how you can specify what aspects of a certain section they can access.
Below, I have a list of what is possible to restrict/open for your staff:
As you can see, the Products section is there in full, and there is no way to take out a certain element or restrict certain actions within that section if you give this permission.
I do understand that this is important to you, so would you be able to tell me a little bit more about why you are looking to restrict this? That way, I will be able to forward your feedback to our developers so that we can hopefully see this changed in future, as I also think that this feature would be of much benefit to many merchants across our platform.
Any details/further context that you can provide will be very useful, and I will be able to relay all of this to them for you.
On that note as well, for this and any other changes we make, you can stay up to date by checking out our Changelog every now and again!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks! -Lana
Hello, thanks for your response.
I actually have huge inventory from time to time which needs to be listed on our online store. So for that purpose we hired some staff but we are worried for a scenario in which any of the staff mistakenly deletes all or few best selling products or collection of ours.
That is why, we want the deletion restrictions on our staff account for the products & collections.
Thank you for elaborating on this, again I can definitely see that this would be a very valuable feature for you.
I have sent the feedback on your behalf! As I mentioned before, for this and any other changes that come, you can keep an eye on our Changelog to stay up to date!
Hello Lana,
Any update on this feature. It is making a bit of mess for us. One of the staff deleted 10 of very important and best selling products of ours.
And we need to restrict the staff in future for doing so.
Kindly acknowledge and get the feature available to us at the earliest, and do let me know the progress on the same.
Hello Shopify,
I also need to restrict my staff from deleting our products, as the staffs are coming from my partners, and they could delete items of other partners, which are selling in the same shop with them.
I think this is critical requirement for many businesses like ours.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!
Please add this feature as it is a must have
I agree, this is an extremely critical feature that must exist.
