Who changed what?
Old staff accounts and too-broad permissions are an easy way for mistakes, and worse, to happen. Shopify’s new activity log makes this a quick job.

- Tighten permissionsGive each person only what they need. Not everyone needs to manage settings, payments or apps.
- Check your apps’ securitySettings > Apps now shows each app’s recent activity and security set-up. Remove any you don’t use.

Hi [name], I’ve done a quick security tidy on the store using Shopify’s new activity log. I reviewed recent changes, removed or tightened [number] staff and partner accounts, and checked our apps’ security settings. Fewer people with access to things they don’t need means less risk of mistakes or worse. [Your name]
