What this is

How to invite your team to CanShip and what each role can do. User management lives at Settings > Users.

Invite a user

1. Go to Settings > Users.
2. Click Invite User.
3. Enter the person's Email.
4. Choose a Role (see below).
5. Click Send Invite. They receive an email to set up their sign-in.

The roles

• Member: standard staff access for day-to-day warehouse work (orders, picking, packing, shipping, inventory). Use this for most of your team.
• Admin: everything a Member can do, plus account-level settings such as warehouses, locations, carriers, and inviting other users.
• Customer: a client-portal login for one of your clients. A Customer signs in to see their own orders and inventory, not your whole operation.

Super Admin is a separate, elevated grant rather than an invite option. It shows as a badge on a user's row in the Users list, with a Revoke Super action to remove it.

Managing existing users

The Settings > Users list shows each user's email, role, assigned clients, and status. Each row has Edit (change role or client assignments) and Deactivate (remove access without deleting the record).
