Permissions are the central element of profiles on PrestaShop. They allow you to precisely configure what an employee account can or cannot do on your store.

To set these permissions in your back office, go to the "Permissions" tab, accessible from the Advanced Parameters > Team page.

On the left of the screen, you will find as many tabs as there are available profiles. Click on any profile (except SuperAdmin) to access the permissions, they will appear on the right of the screen and divided into two tables.

Set up menu permissions

The permissions related to the menu are on the left table. This is where you can decide what the profile can or cannot do on the back-office pages: you can prevent a profile from modifying the content of a page, or even completely hide the page from it.

For each of the menu pages, you have 5 options:

• View: to allow the employee to view information.
• Add: to authorize the employee to add new information.
• Edit: to authorize the employee to modify information.
• Delete: to authorize the employee to delete information.
• All: to authorize the 4 criteria above.

Set up modules permissions

The permissions related to the modules are on the right. You can thus authorize certain profiles to just see the available modules, while others can access their configuration.

For each of the modules, you have 3 options:

• View: to authorize the employee to view the module configuration.
• Configure : to allow the employee to configure the module.
• Uninstall: to authorize the employee to uninstall a module.

The SuperAdmin permissions cannot be changed: the profile simply has all the rights for all criteria.

To avoid errors when configuring permissions, PrestaShop automatically saves the settings with each change. This means you do not have to click a "Save" button. Once you have assigned his rights to a profile, you can return to the "Employees" administration page and assign this profile to the relevant users.
