Note Users assigned to an account switcher permission set based on the buyer manager permission set can create, edit, and delete addresses on accounts they have access to. Users assigned to an account switcher permission set based on the buyer permission set have only read access to addresses on the other accounts.

If you don’t want to use the preconfigured buyer and buyer manager permission sets, we recommend that you clone the preconfigured sets and customize as necessary.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_important.png)

Important In Organization-Wide Defaults, set the Default External Access for product records to Private for all commerce use cases. If this setting isn’t Private, and you have multiple stores or a mix of stores and other Experience Cloud sites, then authenticated users can use SOQL queries to discover all products including those they aren’t entitled to. However, they won’t see prices or be able to purchase. For stronger security, avoid granting object access at the profile level. Instead, use a permission set assigned only to buyers and buyer managers to control access to products and other commerce objects.
