As the account owner, you can create individual accounts that other staff members can use to log in to the Shopify admin.
After you create a staff account, you can also set permissions and control what parts of the admin each staff member can access.
Note
For Shopify POS, you can create POS-only staff PINs that do not give staff access to your Shopify admin. Staff accounts created in your Shopify admin must have full access to be used to log in to Shopify POS as well as your Shopify admin.
