Store Managers
Add staff to your store, control what each one can do, and switch between stores you manage.
The Store Managers page lets the store owner give other Second Life residents access to your store. Each manager has a tailored set of permissions, so you can hand off blog approvals or vendor maintenance without giving them full access to your store.
The page lives at stores.allomancy.com/store-managers.
Only the store owner can add or change managers. Managers themselves cannot open this page from a store they manage.
Reviewing your managers
Each row shows a manager's username and a status icon for each of their permissions: a green when the permission is granted, a red when it is not. The columns are View Sales, Send Product, Manage Products, Manage Bloggers, Manage Customers, Manage Bots, Gift Cards, and Profit Shares. The right-most Action column opens the edit dialog.
The list is sorted by username by default.
The Manage Vendors permission is configured in the edit dialog but does not have its own column on the list.
Adding a manager
Click above the managers list, enter the resident's Second Life Username, tick only the permissions the manager needs, and use Add to add the manager. See the permissions table below for what each permission unlocks.
Editing or removing a manager
Click on a manager's row to open the edit dialog. The permission checkboxes pre-fill with the manager's current state.
- Toggle the checkboxes you want to change and click Update to save.
- To revoke the manager entirely, click Remove
Remove takes effect immediately. There is no extra confirmation. The manager loses access to your store as soon as you click the button.
Switching to a managed store
Once you have been added as a manager on another store, that store appears in the store selector at the top of the sidebar. Click the selector to see your owned store alongside any stores you can manage, then pick one to switch.
When you switch to a managed store, the sidebar updates to show only the pages your permissions allow. Pages that are reserved for the owner of that store are hidden.
Leaving a store as a manager
If you no longer want to manage another resident's store, you can step down yourself.
Use the store selector in the sidebar to make the managed store active. Then go to the home page and click next to the store name.
Permissions
Each permission you tick in the edit dialog is a bundle of capabilities. The table below describes what a manager gets when you grant each one on a store you own.
| Permission | What the manager can do |
|---|---|
| View Sales | Open the Sales pages and view the Customers list. |
| Send Products | Open the Products page and use the Send and Mass Redeliver actions. |
| Manage Products | Open and manage the Products page, including create, edit, delete, and Categories. |
| Manage Bloggers | Full Blog Dashboard, including applications, posts, deadlines, and bloggers. |
| Manage Customers | View and edit customers, including credit and per-customer discount fields. |
| Manage Bots | Open the Bots page. |
| Manage Profit Share | Edit the Profit Share tab on a product listing. |
| Manage Vendors | Open the Vendors page and manage API keys. |
| Manage Gift Cards | Open the Gift Cards page. |
When working inside a managed store, managers do not see Payments, Gachas, News Kiosk, Subscriptions, Tools, Settings, or Store Managers in the sidebar. Those pages are currently available only to the store owner.
