Account Management

Summary

What are the key steps for managing team access on a TikTok Shop Organization Account?

Log into Seller Center, navigate to "My Account" > "Linked Accounts," then click "Manage team access." Invite team members by creating new sub-accounts or linking existing ones, assigning them Affiliate Manager or Main Administrator roles.
Manage access by viewing, adding, or revoking roles anytime. Removing roles or deleting accounts immediately logs out those users from the Organization Account.

How can sellers securely add or remove team members without sharing passwords?

Sellers can create sub-accounts with specific roles, allowing team members to co-manage without sharing the main password. Access is controlled via role assignment and can be revoked instantly to maintain security.
When access is revoked, sub-account owners lose login credentials and active sessions are logged out automatically, ensuring no unauthorized access remains.

What limitations exist for sub-account holders managing the Organization Account?

Sub-account holders with Affiliate Manager or Main Administrator roles can manage the Organization Account but cannot access any personal accounts linked to the shop.
Losing assigned roles or removal from the organization immediately cuts off their access to the main account credentials and active sessions.

What are the implications of this team access management feature for TikTok Shop sellers?

This feature streamlines shop operations by enabling secure, role-based team collaboration without compromising account safety.
It reduces risks associated with password sharing and allows flexible, real-time control over who can manage the shop’s Organization Account.
