Security Options

Overview

  • The Security Options screen is accessed by going to Main Menu > Settings > System Functions > Security Options.
  • The Settings tab is the default view of this screen and is where the Security System is enabled or disabled.
  • It is highly recommended to use the Order Manager Log-In Option.

Description of the Settings Tab

Users Tab

  • if you have defined Packers or Sales People through the Setup Guide, that information can be imported into the Security System by clicking Import Packers & Sale People.

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

Object Permissions Tab
