# Staff Login & Product Tools Patch

## Staff accounts
Administrator: Dashboard > Manage staff accounts > create staff with name, email, role and password.
Supported staff roles: Product Manager, Marketer, Accountant, Dispatch Rider, Administrator.
All staff sign in at `/login` using the email/password created by the Administrator. After authentication, `/dashboard` detects their role and displays authorized tools.

## Product tools
Administrator and Product Manager can use Dashboard > Open product tools or visit `/admin/products`.
The page supports categories, brands, physical/virtual product creation, GTIN/MPN/SKU, basic stock, and variants.

## Access control
Administrator alone may open `/admin/staff`.
Administrator or Product Manager may open `/admin/products`.
Other roles receive HTTP 403 for unauthorized areas.
