Admin Access

Welcome to the admin access section of NextMerce documentation. Here we will show you how to set up and manage the administrative access of your e-commerce store. Proper admin management is always important for an e-commerce store. It secures the backend and keeps products, features, and sensitive information safe.

NextMerce provides the best security for your and your user's information. We ensure that only authorized admins have control over all and have a well-organized system. If you are not an admin you will only have the read-only view.

Setting Up the Admin Access

First, you have to enable admin access in NextMerce. Follow the steps to enable the admin access:

1. To give yourself admin privilege add your email to the ADMIN_EMAILS .env variable before registering with that email.

ADMIN_EMAILS=youremail@gmail.com

1. You can also assign roles based on your needs. You can define the role-based permissions for product management, processing, and analytics.
2. If you want to add other users as admin, you can add their emails as a comma-separated list.

ADMIN_EMAILS=youremail@gmail.com,sam@gmail.com,jhon@gmail.com

This will set the role to ADMIN for these users.

Securing Admin Access

NextMerce allows you to easily secure admin access. Securing your admin access is always crucial for e-commerce. Here are some security practices that you must follow:

1. Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication for admin accounts. It adds another layer of security to your store.
2. Always monitor the admin logs for better accountability. Log auditing helps you to track who accessed the information and data.

Troubleshooting Admin Issues

NextMerce not only offers easy and safe access but also helps you to avoid any issues. However, if you face any issues you can effortlessly solve them with simple steps.

1. If any admin faces access-denied issues, check the roles and permissions first. Verify their role setting to solve the problem.
2. An admin can be locked out for various failed login attempts. Ensure that they have a backup authentication like two-factor authentication or e-mail verification.
