# User roles, permissions and the admin PIN

[**Open in ChatGPT**Ask about this page](https://chatgpt.com/?q=)[**Open in Claude**Ask about this page](https://claude.ai/new?q=)

Choose between the Admin, Store Owner and Cashier roles, restrict users to specific branches, and protect cancellations and session closing with the admin PIN.

**Quick answer**

1.  Open “Settings → User Permissions”.
2.  Open the user.
3.  Set the “Role” (Admin, Store Owner or Cashier).
4.  Choose the “Branches” they can access.
5.  Save.

## Steps

1.  **Give everyone their own account.** Don't share a single account: every order and session is recorded under the user's name.
2.  **Pick the right role.** Store Owner for the owner, Admin for managers, and Cashier for point-of-sale staff.
3.  **Restrict branches.** Select only the branches and points of sale each user works at.
4.  **Protect sensitive actions.** Cancelling an order and closing a session require the admin PIN, so a cashier can't do them alone.
5.  **Change your password** from your name at the top of the page → “Change Password”.
