Roles are permission groupings used to organize the tasks performed by each collaborator depending on the category, such as agency or freelance developer. To create a collaborator role, follow these steps:

1. Go to Mercado Pago Developers.
2. In the right sidebar menu, click Your account>Manage collaborators.

3. On this screen, click “Create role”.

4. Define the permissions you will grant to this collaborator.

Permissions are authorizations granted to your collaborators to perform tasks such as implementing an integration or reviewing integration quality. To set them, follow the steps below:

1. Select the Mercado Pago option, which is where the collaborator will work.
2. When creating a role, there are two ways to set permissions:

• Select permissions manually, choosing only those you want to grant to the collaborator.
• Use our predefined profile suggestions:
  • Mercado Pago Admin: full access to store information.
  • Mercado Pago Cashier: access only to Payment and post-sale information.

You can manually add more roles to each of these profiles.

Once you’ve set the role permissions, you can also define access levels to the store’s integration through the “Management and configuration” section.

Check the table to see what can be done at each permission level:

Once the role and permissions of the new collaborator are defined, click the “Create role” button to confirm your settings.

A confirmation screen will then appear.

Now, you can send an invitation to your collaborator.

After creating the role, simply click “Invite collaborator”. A new screen will open where you can enter the email of the person to be invited.

To send an invitation later, go to the main screen and click “Invite collaborator”. After entering the guest’s email, a field will open where you can select the role you want to assign to the collaborator.

You can adjust the collaborator’s permissions and roles at any time. However, it’s important to note that the collaborator’s account is always linked to the account of the person who sent the invitation, meaning they cannot operate completely independently.
