Roles

A role is a set of permissions you can assign to staff. Use roles to decide who can apply discounts, process refunds, void receipts, and more.

If a staff member has no role, they’re unrestricted and can do everything. Assign a role to limit what they can do.

Creating a role

  1. Open the Backoffice and click Employees, then the Roles tab
  2. Tap the green plus button in the bottom right
  3. Give the role a name, for example “Server” or “Manager”
  4. Check the permissions this role should have
  5. Save with the green tick

Checking permissions for a role

Assigning a role to staff

Open a staff member’s details from Backoffice → Employees and pick a role from the Role dropdown. See Staff for adding and managing staff.

Editing or removing a role

Open the role from the Roles tab to rename it or change its permissions. Staff currently assigned to a role are listed on its page, so you can see who’s affected before changing it.

Deleting a role removes the restriction from any staff still assigned to it, so they become unrestricted rather than blocked. Reassign staff to a different role first if you want them to stay restricted.
