👤 Organization Users & Roles

The Users section of the organization back-office manages three things: organization-level admin users, POS employees across all locations, and POS user role definitions that can be assigned to those employees.

👤 The Users Hub

In the org sidebar, click Users to open the Users hub. The sidebar expands to show three sub-sections:

Users hub

Sub-section

Purpose

Organization Admin

Back-office users with access to the organization-level back office. These are not POS users — they are the people who log in to manage menus, reports, and settings.

POS Employees

POS-level users across all locations. From here, organization admins can view and manage the employee records of every location.

Roles and permissions

POS user role definitions. Roles created here are available to all company locations for assigning to POS employees. Locations can also create their own roles if the org setting permits it (see Organization Settings).


🔑 Roles and Permissions

Click Roles and permissions in the Users sub-menu. If no roles have been created yet at the org level, you will see an empty state. Click Create a new role to define one.

Roles and permissions — empty state

➕ Creating a New Role

The new role form asks for a name and then lets you configure permissions across four groups:

New role form — four permission groups

Ordering

Controls what the POS user can do during the ordering and service flow. This group has the most individual permissions (14 items). Examples include:

Permission

What it allows

Open a check

Start a new order/table check on the POS.

Add items to a check

Add products, modifiers, and remarks to an open order.

Apply discount

Apply a promotional or manual discount to an order or item.

Void items

Remove items from a check that have already been sent to the kitchen.

Reprint receipts

Print a duplicate of a previously issued receipt.

Close a check

Finalize and close an order after payment.

Configuration

Controls access to POS configuration and setup tasks (6 items). Examples include access to terminal settings, receipt formats, and hardware configuration.

Reporting

Controls which reports the POS user can access and run directly from the terminal (4 items). Examples include sales summaries, shift reports, and Z-readings.

Misc

Miscellaneous permissions for less common actions (4 items). These typically cover operations like cash drawer access, manager overrides, and day close procedures.

💡 Role assignment: Once an org-level role is created, location managers can assign it to individual POS employees in the company-level back office under Users → POS Employees.

ℹ️ Org vs. company roles: If the organization's Companies can create roles and permissions setting is checked, locations can also define their own roles in addition to the org-level ones. If unchecked, only org-level roles are available.
