User Roles
In larger teams not all users are equal. We use roles to define who should have access to different things in Clerk.io.. Right now there are 6 types of users:
Admin: Admins can do everything including user management, store creation and billing management.
Manager: Managers can manage users but not create stores, access billing or handle store API keys.
Member, Developer and Agency: These users can’t manage users, store creations or billing. Only developers can handle API keys.
Every user with any of those roles can still work with any Clerk.io store.
- Store member: These users can only access specific stores. Admins or managers can set their permissions when sending them an invitation or by editing their profiles.
Inviting new users
Users with Admin or Manager roles can add new team members to a Clerk.io account.
To do so, they just need to:
- Access the “Company” section (from the top menu) and navigate to the “Users” page in the lateral menu.
- Click the button “Invite new user”.
- Add the new user’s email and the role that better fits their needs.
If a user already has access to another Clerk.io Company, they will automatically have access to your Company next time they log in.
If they haven’t used Clerk.io before, they will get a welcome email with a link for creating a new user. After this, they will have access to your Clerk.io Company.
Once the invitation has been sent, and while the new user has not accepted it, Admins and Managers will be able to revoke it by clicking the “Revoke invite” icon under the “Invited users” tab.
Changing User Roles
Admins can change user roles directly from the Users section.
To do so, they just have to click on the “Edit” icon next to the user they want to edit. When it comes to Store members, they can also set or change the stores those users can access.
