Once activated, each station will support settings to allow user level access permissions by station, under Edit Station > Users > Users Allowed to Access Station. The access can be granted to All users, or granted at a Select users level. Once granted, the user will only see the stations they have been granted access to in their admin or dashboard view. 

 

User Access Permission Management

The admin user account for the Point of Sale can manage the user level permission access to the POS. 

Warning: Modifying the default user permission can cause the users to get access to admin level features or cause the Point of Sale to not properly load data. Verify any changes prior to releasing the change to the live Point of Sale version.
