To create Cashiers please visit our Create Cashiers manual page.
Cashier Roles
To manage cashier permissions you can set up cashier roles. The cashier roles are under Employees > Cashier Roles.
Here you can create and modify cashier roles which determine a cashier’s permission. In other words, what they are able to do at the Point of Sale.
If you create or edit a cashier role you will see two boxes on the right side.
Cashier Permissions
The left box shows permissions that are available but the cashiers in this role do not have. On the right side are the permissions that this cashier role has.
You can grant or take away permissions by dragging permissions from one side to the other or you can use the arrow icons in between the two permission boxes. The single arrow will move the items selected and the double arrow will move all items.
*Note: If a cashier attempts to perform an action they do not have permissions for at the Point of Sale, they will get a pop up notification stating “You are not Authorized to perform this action”
