What you can do with Team Permissions
Keep access secure: Everyone logs in with their own account, so you never have to share credentials.
Add and manage your team: Invite teammates, assign roles, and update permissions anytime.
Switch between accounts easily: Move between teams with the right level of access for each one.
Manage your Team Permissions
To add or manage team members:
- Go to whatnot.com and open Setting in Seller Hub
- Click the Team tab
From here, you can:
- Invite team members: Click Invite, enter email addresses, and assign roles
- Update roles: Use the dropdown next to each team member’s name
- Manage invites: View, resend, or cancel invites in the Pending tab
