What this page is for
Add till staff creates an account for someone who only works at a till: a cashier, a waiter or a kitchen operator who signs in with a username and a PIN (personal identification number) and never needs the back office. They need no e-mail address. If they later need a back-office sign-in, an owner can invite them by e-mail from Users without disturbing their till username, PIN or roles.
Only people whose role can manage users see this page.
Fields
Name
The person's name, as it appears in reports and the audit trail. Required.
Example: Brian Otieno
Roles
What the person can do, built from the permissions their roles hold together. Choose at least one. Only an owner may give someone the owner role.
Example: Cashier for someone working the till.
Branches
Which branches the person works at. Leave every box empty to give them every branch, including branches added later. This box only appears when your business has more than one branch.
Example: tick Mombasa Road only, for staff who never work the second site.
Till username
What the person types at the till before their PIN. Required, and nobody else in the business may use it.
Example: brian.o
PIN
A starting PIN of the length shown. It works once: the person must choose their own PIN at their first till sign-in.
Example: a six-digit PIN you hand to them on paper.
PIN again
Type the same PIN again to confirm it.
