# New field and queries for the `StaffMember` object in the GraphQL Admin API

The `2024-10` version of the GraphQL Admin API brings improvements to the [`StaffMember`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StaffMember) object:

* New [`accountType` field](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/StaffMember#field-accounttype).
* You can retrieve the staff member making the API request with the [`currentStaffMember` query](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/queries/currentStaffMember).
* You can list all staff members with the [`staffMembers` connection query](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/queries/staffMembers).
* [`Shop.staffMembers`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Shop#connection-staffmembers) was deprecated in favor of the `staffMembers` query.

This allows apps using the [`User`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/user) REST Admin API resource to migrate to GraphQL's [`StaffMember`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StaffMember) object.
