Security Rights for Predefined Groups

Create a New Security Group | Security Overview

Security groups control access to specific features or data. Four predefined security groups are included in Point of Sale: Owner, Manager, Assistant Manager, and Associate. Rights to specific features of the program decrease as you move from the Owner group to the Associate group. You can assign these groups to your employees, change the rights for each group, and, if necessary, create new groups with the rights you prefer.

We recommend that you initially assign each employee to one of the four predefined groups. Later, you can reassign groups, customize group rights, or create additional groups as necessary to meet your needs.

The Security Rights by Group table below lists the default rights granted to each of the predefined groups.

You can give or take away a right by selecting or clearing the check box for that group on the Security window. You can reset the rights of the four predefined groups by selecting the Revert Default Groups button at the bottom of the window.

Select a link to jump to that section of the table or scroll down to view the entire table.
