The right person.
The right access.
Connect admin and customer identities to the experience they should use. Keep permissions and customer context part of the platform rather than scattered checks in a frontend.

Are admin and customer permissions the same?
No. Administrators use admin permissions. User access can be scoped to a customer membership and its active customer context.
Can I rely only on frontend checks?
Your backend integration must use the platform’s authentication and authorization. Frontend controls help the experience but do not replace permission enforcement.
