Employee Permissions
Permissions are used to limit access for POS users. Global permissions are based on the user's role, assigned to them in Employees > Manage Employees
Global Permissions
Set global permissions to define the three levels of access on the POS system, called "roles":
- Roles:
- Owner -- All permissions granted
- Manager -- Some additional permissions granted
- Employee -- Limited access
- No Access -- No POS access. Can only clock in/out
These permissions apply to all users with the specified access level, unless modified for an individual using per-employee permissions management.
TIP: The role names only relate to the POS. E.g., an "owner" on the POS does not need to be an owner of the restaurant.
Edit Global Permissions
- Click the button Edit Global Permissions
- In the Edit Global Permissions list:
- Use the drop-down menu next to the permission to set the default level
See POS permissions definitions at the end of this article.


POS Permissions
Make individual permissions exceptions on a per-user basis without changing their role. Permissions adjusted here only apply to the individual who's permissions are edited.
TIP: You can add or remove permissions for specific users.
Edit POS Permissions (Per-user permissions)
To Edit POS Permissions:
- Click the Edit Permissions button next to the user's name
- In the Edit POS Permissions panel:
- Use the Toggles to enable or disable a permission
TIP: Note the column "Default", ON/OFF indicates if this permission is enabled by default for the selected user. If you need to turn on a lot of permissions due to more obligations, consider upgrading their role instead.
See POS permissions definitions at the end of this article.
