Overview

Amazon’s Fulfilled‑by‑Amazon (FBA) Dashboard and FBA Analytics give sellers real‑time insight into inventory levels, shipment health, and overall fulfillment performance. However, these tools are hidden from every user by default, and only the primary account holder can decide who sees them. Properly configuring permissions lets teams monitor fulfillment without exposing critical controls to unauthorized personnel.

Key Points

• Default lockout — New or existing users cannot view the FBA Dashboard or Analytics until explicit permission is granted, so a missing tab usually signals a permissions gap.
• Primary‑only control — Only the main account owner can assign or modify FBA permissions; secondary users, even those with broad catalog access, cannot delegate these rights.
• Three tiers of access — Amazon offers No Access, View Only, and View and Edit levels, allowing granular control over who can read data versus who can change inventory settings.
• Managed via User Permissions — All changes are made on the User Permissions page, reachable from the Settings menu on the Seller Central homepage.
• Edit rights affect inventory — The View and Edit tier permits actions such as creating shipments, adjusting replenishment rules, or editing product listings, so it should be limited to trusted staff.
• Regular audits are essential — Periodic reviews of the permission list help remove former employees or contractors and reduce the risk of accidental inventory changes.

How to Grant FBA Dashboard Permissions

1. Open User Permissions — Log in as the primary account holder, click the Settings dropdown on the Seller Central home page, and select User Permissions. For example, Jane, the business owner, navigates to Settings → User Permissions to begin the process.
2. Add or select a user — Either invite a new collaborator by entering their name and email or click an existing user’s name from the list. Suppose Jane adds her fulfillment specialist, Mark, by entering his corporate email address.
