Follow these guidelines when assigning permission sets to users.

- To limit access to top-level functionality, restrict the number of users assigned to Administrator and Commerce Administrator permission sets.
- Users assigned to Commerce Administrator and Administrator require no other permission sets.
- Buyer, Buyer Manager, and Shopper permission sets allow external users to view and purchase products on your storefront. You can set up guest browsing during store configuration so that external users can view and purchase products without registering.
- Follow task-based assignments for your internal users, including Merchandisers and Administrators. Use the permission set descriptions to match users with the personas that meet their required capabilities.
