User Permissions & Credentialing in iPOS

iPOS allows for an unlimited number of users. You may not want all users to be able to do all things. This article will show you how to choose a user role and adjust their individual permissions (what they have access to).

Step 1: Add User

Log into the iPOS portal and go to User Management -> Click the purple box with three lines -> click + Add user

Step 2: Choose Role & Set Permissions

Once you click + Add user you'll be prompted to set your user details. Enter their name, email address, whether you want MFA (they will be emailed a code when attempting to log in), phone number, and select their User Role.

User Roles and what they mean:

  • Merchant - Admin
    This role has all the permissions you do as the merchant location administrator. This user will be able to do anything you can do as the owner.
  • Merchant - Operator
    By default this role can run sales, refund processed transactions, view batches, manage inventory and customers, send payment links, and view reports. 
  • Multi Store Manager
    Can manage stores you select (if you have multiple stores or locations) during setup.
  • Store Manager
    Can manage a single store you select.

Step 3: Customizing Permissions

After you select the desired user role, you can customize their permissions by clicking the Modules and Privileges dropdown.

Common Setup Scenarios:

Adding an accountant/bookkeeper user with access to reports, inventory, and tips but cannot process sales or do refunds

Adding a User that can process sales but not process virtual terminal refunds/credits
