Summary

Collaborator access enables Shopify Partners like Crowd Control to access a store to provide support while not counting against a store's staff limit. Collaborator access requests are sent to the store's admin email and require the admin's approval. Instances where collaborator access may be needed include installing survey templates on a store's custom theme or simply providing support for general questions.

Overview

Collaborator access is essentially a staff account that is reserved for Shopify Partners like Crowd Control while not counting against a store's staff limits. Like a staff account, the store admin can determine which features and content a collaborator can access. 


When needed, Crowd Control Support will submit a request for collaborator access via Shopify. Requests are delivered from Shopify to the store's admin email and must be approved before full support can be given. To expedite support, Crowd Control Support will first request access for both required and secondary permissions. Store admins can edit such permissions before approval or anytime after.


The primary purpose for granting collaborator access to Crowd Control is for the installation of survey templates on a custom or unsupported theme.

 

See below for the required and recommended permissions for Crowd Control Support.
