In the default installation of Magento 2, an Admin account is created that gives you full administrative access. First, you have to create another user account with full Administrator access, so you can use one account for your everyday Administrative activities, and reserve the other as a “Super Admin” account in case you lost access to your main account.
For a team of administrators, you can create a separate account for each, and set restrict access based on their business. To do that, you have to create a role with limited scope and access only to the necessary resources and assign the role to an admin account. After assigned to a restricted role, admin users can see and change data only for websites or stores that are associated with the role, but cannot make changes to any global settings or data.
Step 1: Create a New User
On the admin sidebar click System > All Users > Add New User. Follow these steps:
Enter all required information and set “This account is” as Active, enter your password under Current User Identity Verification.
Step 2: Define the Role
On the left of the panel, click User Role. In the Assigned column, tick the Administrators selection and click Save User.
