Security levels inside Managament

[JTRTech]

@Jesse

You didnt ask that question when the only way to make purchase transactions was inside manage… now its not

I wasn’t on the forum back then I don’t think

But I think a flexible alternative route might be;

@JTRTech

A new entity screed ‘widget’ which can show a ‘tab’ of the manage section?

This could lead to much more intricate access control beyond adding permissions to the management section

[Jesse]

Ive shared this before and its made some strides and for most part I am happy personally now, but I could see more improvement being done in future. I think Manage screen should contain specifically POS structure related settings and the actual business operations stuff should be separate from Manage screen.

I would love to be able to create custom screens with access to things like Price list etc. We could then manage access through mapping. However this would probably require some specific actions that may cause havok if used wrong.

You mean to split and have say ‘POS Managment’ and ‘Settings’ options on main menu?

[Jesse]

Not specifically. My thought is that I too would not want a manager to mess with rules etc… only I should do that. But I might want to give manager access to some things like Price List or Menu. However I dont think they should need to go through Manage to do that.

[JTRTech]

Thats is my thinking,
There is always someone who thinks they know better and make changes which they dont understand trying to help.

I think the entity screen widget to show a management tab could be a potential solution which offers allot of options covering both permissions and workflow optimizations.

We discussed it here. It is in my todo list.

Setting roles to restrict access

I’ve been experimenting with user roles but cannot work out how to set a certain level of restriction. I want to have the manager have access to all day-to-day features, like adding products, editing menus, inventory, etc., But I only want the admin user to be able to access features that can break the system, like automation, entities, tickets (settings), main settings. I can’t seem to find an easy way to do this, or if it is possible at all? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @emre,

Does this feature support in the new recently release? I read the new feature in version 5.1.57, but you did not mention in the list.

[JTRTech]

@pheakdey_micronet I have not seen much mention of breaking down access within management since this topic and the other one mentioned other than one recently where it was mentioned as being on the list for things to look at the best way to implement.
I certain ive not seen anything to imply it is implemented in 5.1.57.

[emre]

It is in the to-do list. I’ll announce it via release notes when implemented.

Thanks.

[emre]

Added for 5.1.61 update.

Setup permitted management sections for a user role.

Management screen for this user role appears like that.

You will make some people happy @JTRTech @markjw

[Shivan]

Count Me in as a happy man also

[GreatShakesBar]

Me also! adding more body to make it more descriptive (apparently)

[GreatShakesBar]

Infact, you’ve made my management functions button look much better when we navigate to the management screen!

[Hasa]

Did he release this .61 update yet?

[GreatShakesBar]

not yet, only beta dot dot

[GreatShakesBar]

[Hasa]

Did you download update yourself, theres plenty of posts with .61 updates now. So beta forum isn’t really descriptive lol
