## Not on this list: Payouts

Payouts has no permission. It is owner-only, so no combination of the above grants it. Only the store owner can open it, and that cannot be delegated. See [Account Payouts vs Store Payouts](/payments-and-payouts/account-vs-store-payouts.md).

To check which permission gates which sidebar item, see [Why can't I see a feature?](/reference/feature-availability.md). To assign these permissions to someone, build a role and apply it on [Team Members](/store-settings/team-members.md).
