📄 User Roles and Permissions

Overview

User roles and permissions determine what a user can view, change, or manage in a store's setting, i.e., from the Merchant Dashboard. User roles categorize users based on their level of access and responsibilities, whereas permissions provide fine-grained control over various functionalities within those roles. Together, they ensure that each user has access to the areas they need, without compromising the store's security or consistency.

User Roles

In our API, we categorize the users into two main roles: Customer and Manager. Each of these roles comes with different levels of access and permissions within the API.

Customer

A Customer is a role associated with end-users or shoppers in the system. Customers have the ability to perform actions related to shopping from the stores supported by Zid, such as browsing products, adding items to the shopping cart, and checking out.

When interacting with the API, set the Role header in the request to Customer to perform operations as a customer.

Manager

A Manager is a role associated with higher-level users who have the ability to manage different aspects of a store. This includes store owners, inventory managers, order managers, product managers, and other staff members.

Store Owner: Store owners have the highest level of access to a store, including creating, updating, and managing all aspects of their store. They also have the ability to create accounts for other store staff and assign them permissions.

Other Staff Members: Other staff members can have varying levels of access to the store based on the permissions granted to them by the store owner.

When interacting with the API, set the Role header in the request to Manager to perform operations as a store owner or other staff members.

Note: The Manager role in the API is an umbrella term for different roles within a store. The specific permissions assigned to each user within this category dictate the actions they can perform. The Manager term in the API documentation should be interpreted as Store Owner or Staff Member based on the context.

By setting the Role header in your request, you determine the level of access your request will have within the system. However, always keep in mind that each user's array of permissions ultimately dictates what actions they can perform.

Understanding Permission Slugs

Permission slugs offer insights into the particular functionality they control in the store settings. They typically follow a manage.<entity>.<action> or view.<entity> or list.<entity> format.

manage signifies permissions that allow managing or modifying something.

view denotes permissions that allow viewing or accessing certain areas.

list is used for permissions that allow the user to see a list of specific entities.

<entity> refers to the specific area or feature the permission applies to, such as 'store.marketing' or 'store.inventory.addresses'.

<action> gives more detail about what the permission allows, for example, 'settings' or 'customization'.

Important Notes

Please note that all permissions are tied to the user's role in the system. Different roles have different sets of permissions, and not every role has access to every permission. This design ensures the security and consistency of your store's operations.
