# Settings - Users & Roles

In Zoho Commerce, you can manage who has access to your organization and what actions they are allowed to perform from the Users and Roles section in Settings. You can invite users and contributors, assign them specific roles, and set permissions based on their responsibilities.

**Insight:** A user is anyone granted access to your Zoho Commerce organization to help manage operations like products, orders, reports, and settings. Roles can be admins, staff, or contributors.  
\- Admin has full access to all modules and settings.  
\- Staff has limited access based on permissions set by the admin.  
\- Contributors are users who are granted limited access to specific modules or areas of the store based on assigned roles.

## Super Admin

In Zoho Commerce, the Super Admin is a privilege that is automatically assigned to the user who creates an organization. In addition to the standard admin permissions, the Super Admin has exclusive rights over other admins in an organization.

There can be only one Super Admin in an organization, and they’re same across all the Zoho Finance applications, including Zoho Invoice, Zoho Billing, Zoho Expense, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Payroll, Zoho Commerce, Zoho Checkout, Zakya, Zoho Practice, and Vikra of that organization.

**Note:** For existing organizations, you must manually assign a Super Admin, who is an active admin across all Zoho Finance apps in your organization.

### Unique Privileges for a Super Admin

*   Only the Super Admin can set up the organization in other Zoho Finance applications. For example, if you’re a Super Admin in an organization that is present only in Zoho Commerce, only you can set up that organization in other Zoho Finance applications.
    
*   If an admin wants to set up the organization in other Zoho Finance applications, they must send a request, and the Super Admin must approve it.
    
*   Once an admin requests access, the Super Admin will receive an email with the request link. The link will show the list of admins who have requested access. The Super Admin can either choose to accept or reject the request.
    

**Note:** Once the request is approved, the admin can join the organization in the respective Zoho Finance application, and will continue to have the Admin role in that organization.

*   Only the Super Admin can delete an organization.

**Note:** If you no longer want to be the Super Admin of your organization, you must assign another eligible admin to be the new Super Admin. Learn more about [making another admin the Super Admin](/en-fr/commerce/help/users-and-roles/#Make-Another-Admin-the-Super-Admin).
