Manage access, configuration and accountable changes.

Assign access by responsibility

System manages users and roles. Assign permissions by responsibility; read, write, publish and channel-scoped access are separate. The backend enforces every request.

Use the central configuration workspace

System → Configuration groups settings with independent scope and save/publication actions. Older installations may expose the same screens directly in navigation.

SettingScope
Delivery & pickupSelected store; immediate policy changes.
Delivery feeInstallation-wide; new checkout reviews.
TaxHighest-priority active matching geographic rule.
MarketsOne reviewed live market per installation.
ThemesPermitted channel assignments.
AssistantNew requests after configuration changes.

Make a traceable administrative change

  1. Confirm the owning screen, store/channel and current state.
  2. Check required permissions and affected records.
  3. Enter a reason where requested.
  4. Save/publish that form; there is no cross-section bulk save.
  5. Verify the result and use audit history when investigating changes.

Resolve missing controls

  • Missing links can indicate missing read permission.
  • Disabled controls can indicate read-only access.
  • Theme editing does not grant publication or assignment.
  • Reload and reconcile stale revisions.
  • Limit customer diagnostics and exports to authorized operators.
