## Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the sidebar menu.
2. Select **Staff** from the menu. You will see all your current team members here.
3. Click the **Add Staff** button.
4. Enter the staff member's information. See the [field explanations](/docs/store/staff/overview#field-explanations) for details on each field.
5. Choose the right role for the staff member (e.g., cashier, manager, admin) to control what they can access.
6. Click **Save**. The new staff member will appear in your staff list right away.
7. If you fill in the email field, the staff member will receive an email notification to confirm their Fuze Store account for this store.

**Important:** Staff who are not synced to a Fuze Store account will not be able to log in. If you want staff to log in, make sure to fill in their email address. They will receive an email to confirm their account.
