Access controls within the Amazon Seller Central platform are configurations that grant specific levels of system entry and functional usage to individual users. For example, an administrator might grant a user permission only to manage inventory, while another user has the authority to process orders and handle customer service inquiries.
Properly configured access roles are important for maintaining security, enabling efficient delegation of tasks, and providing accountability within a business. By limiting employee access to only the tools and information they require, businesses can mitigate the risk of errors, fraud, and data breaches. Historically, inadequate permission management has led to significant financial and reputational damage for many online businesses.
