Manage User Permissions in Account | How To

ShippingEasy allows you to control the settings and actions available to each user on your account. When using multiple user logins, you can vary the roles and responsibilities of each.

Account Owners or Admins will always retain access to all user permissions available in ShippingEasy. By default, all new users will have access to all user permissions. From there, the Account Owner can edit the user permission settings for each secondary user account. This allows Account Owners to control access to functions and settings.

Available Permissions

Permission

Description

Access Settings & Events

Permits to access the SETTINGS page. Users can view and edit all accounts, store, and shipment settings.

Restricting access prevents the user from being able to:

  • Edit settings, such as their printer configuration.

  • Set up saved packages.

  • Create shipping rules.

  • Add or edit customized packing slips and email templates.

  • Disconnect or reconnect previously integrated stores.

Clear Print Queue

Permits to clear all print jobs listed in the PRINT QUEUE on READY TO PRINT, including printed and unprinted jobs.

Restricting access will prevent users from being able to clear the PRINT QUEUE. Restricted users will not be able to clear print queues for either "MY SHIPMENTS" or "ALL SHIPMENTS".

Edit Order Items

Restricting access will prevent the user from being able to add, edit, or delete the items on existing orders and customs forms.

View All Unshipped Orders

Only orders assigned to the user will be available to view, edit, and ship without permission.

View All Shipment History

Manage User Settings, including user permissions

Although each user can manage most of their settings, including the email address assigned to the login and default Ship From address, only the Account Owner retains permission to edit these across all users in the account. Also, only the Account Owner can restrict or grant access to specific permissions for individual users.

Edit an Account's User Permissions

  1. Log in to ShippingEasy using the email login assigned to the Account Owner.

  2. Click on the pencil icon next to the user for which you want to edit permissions.

    It is only possible to edit permissions for secondary users.

    Click the pencil icon to the right of the user.
  3. Edit the user's information and permissions as needed. Check any permission you would like to grant. Remove the check from any permission you need to restrict.

    ​Edit the user's information and permissions as needed.
  4. Click the UPDATE button to save your selections. Repeat these steps for any other users as needed.
