# Role Settings
In the Role Settings section, you can manage employee permissions. WorkMate uses a role-based system to restrict permissions.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Tip**: For stores that are not on Shopify Plus, new staff members must log into Shopify admin and download WorkMate in order for their employee listing to be synced to WorkMate.*
{% endhint %}
**1. Access WorkMates Settings**
* Open WorkMate from the Shopify dashboard.
* Click **View More**.
* Navigate to the Settings section.
**2. Configure Role Settings**
* Click the Roles module to configure employee permissions for various roles.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Tip**:*
*WorkMate previously configured permissions on a per-employee basis. Your configured permissions have automatically been migrated to roles called **Auto-migrated roles**.*
* *The different Auto-migration numbers represent your previous different permission levels of the employees.*
* *You can change the role names here, in your settings.*
{% endhint %}
* Select or unselect permissions to customize access for each role.
**3. View Employee Roles**
* Access the **Employees** module to view your assigned employee roles.
* Here, **Superusers (or other roles that have the Write Settings permission)** can change and update employee roles.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Tip**: The store owner will automatically become the first Superuser. To become a Superuser, please request the store owner to update your role.*
{% endhint %}
