You can create one or more staff accounts based on your Orlit pricing plan. This allows other people to access the Account. Each staff account must include a legal name and a valid email address. Staff accounts help you to set permissions and let other people that work with you, work in their account without having full access to the organization’s information.

For example, you can prevent staff from changing general store settings or limit a staff account access to just customer information and sales.
