Users & Invites

Every person who needs access to your admin panel requires a user account. You invite them by email — they set their own password via a link. There is no need to share credentials.

User roles

Medusa has two roles:

RoleAccess level
AdminFull access to all settings, products, orders, customers, and user management
MemberAccess to day-to-day operations (orders, products, customers) but cannot manage settings, users, or billing
💡Tip

Give staff who handle orders and products the Member role. Only give Admin to people who need to change settings, add currencies, or manage other users.

Inviting a new user

Go to Settings → Team and click + Invite user.

Enter the person's email address and select their role. Click Send invite.

They will receive an email with a link valid for 7 days (configurable in Store settings). The link takes them to a page to set a password and activate their account.

⚠️Warning

If the invite expires before they accept it, resend it from Settings → Team → Invites tab. Expired invites stay visible in the list until you delete or resend them.

Resending an invite

In the Invites tab, find the pending invite and click Resend. A fresh link is sent and the old one becomes invalid.

Removing a user

Go to Settings → Team → Users, find the person, and click Remove. This immediately revokes their access — they cannot log in again.

🔥Important

Removed users' actions (creating products, fulfilling orders, etc.) remain in the audit history. Removing a user does not delete their past activity.

Changing your own profile

Click your avatar in the bottom-left of the admin panel and select Profile. From there you can:

  • Update your first and last name
  • Change your email address
  • Change your password
  • Set your language preference

Best practices

Access control checklist
Only grant Admin role to people who truly need it
Remove users as soon as they leave the team
Do not share login credentials — each person gets their own invite
Periodically review the Users list and remove stale accounts
Use a strong password (12+ characters, mix of types)
