Staff per shop

Assign staff to specific shops so they see and work only in their locations, with permissions controlling what they can do.


Quick steps

  1. 1

    Add the staff member

    Create the staff account and grant their permissions.

  2. 2

    Assign shops

    Give them access to the specific shop(s) they work at.

  3. 3

    They see only their shops

    Their shop switcher lists only assigned locations.

  4. 4

    Permissions limit actions

    Their permissions decide what they can do within those shops.

In a multi-shop business, not everyone should see everything. Storeflea lets you assign staff to specific shops, so each person works only where they belong.

Shop assignment

A staff member is granted access to one or more shops. Their shop switcher then lists only those locations, and their bills, stock views and reports are scoped to them. A cashier at Branch A never sees Branch B's numbers.

Permissions control actions

On top of where they work, their permissions control what they can do — billing, inventory, viewing reports, managing customers, and so on. Combine the two:

  • A counter cashier at one shop: billing only, that shop only.
  • A branch manager: fuller access, but still their branch.
  • An owner/admin: all shops, all actions, plus Main (business-wide settings and accounting).

Why scope staff

  • Protects sensitive figures (other branches, business-wide accounting).
  • Keeps each person's screen focused on their job.
  • Cleaner accountability — actions tie to a person and a shop.

Business-wide settings (GSTIN, legal, accounting, wallet) sit on Main, so only staff with Main access manage them.

Frequently asked

Can I limit a staff member to just one of my shops in Storeflea?

Yes. Assign the staff member to specific shops; their shop switcher then shows only those locations and their bills, stock and reports are scoped to them. Their permissions additionally control what actions they can perform.

How do permissions and shop access work together?

Shop assignment decides where a person works; their permissions decide what they can do there. For example, a cashier can be limited to billing at one branch, while a manager gets broader access to their branch, and only owners/admins reach Main for business-wide settings.
