Groups Tab

• this tab is not visible until the security system is enabled
• the program provides four basic Groups (Cashiers, Power Users, Packers and Sales People) that already have basic permissions assigned to them
• you can also create your own user groups and define their permissions
• permissions are generally assigned to user groups and then users are assigned to the Group that has the appropriate level of access for them to perform their job function
• for example, Packers do not usually need the ability to run credit card transactions and therefore would not belong to the same Group as Sales People
