MarketKing's vendor teams / staff module allows each vendor to set up team member / staff accounts that can have various functions in managing their shop. The module is enabled via MarketKing -> Modules:
Team members can log in to the vendor dashboard, where they have access to only specific panels & pages, as configured by the vendor.
When the Teams & Staff module is enabled, each vendor has a "My Team" page in their vendor dashboard, where they can add team member accounts and configure permissions.
For each team member, the vendor can enable or disable all panels that they themselves have access to (based on their vendor group permissions), except the "My Team" panel itself, which is not available to team members.
There are also special permissions that can be configured: the ability to create and edit products, create and edit coupons, and edit and update orders.
Examples of permission configurations:
-> For example, the vendor can create a member that has access to the "Orders" panel but does not have the ability to "Edit and update orders". Such a team member will be able to view orders for fulfilment purposes but will not be able to change order status, add order notes, etc.
-> A vendor can create a team member that only has access to "Messages", "Orders", and "Reviews", to work in a customer relationship management role.
Creating a Team Member
To create a team member, vendors can go to My Team -> Add. Here they can enter the name, email, and phone number of the team member, as well as a description (e.g. Manager, Branch Staff, etc.).
The vendor can set the initial password for the account, but the team member can then change it. The team member receives an email with their account details and a link to change their password:
What It Looks Like from the Staff's Point of View
Let's see how this looks from the team member's perspective. For example, we have a team member with the following permissions configuration:
When the team member logs in, they will see the following:
Only the panels enabled in settings are shown, so the staff member has useful yet limited abilities in managing the shop.
