Roles and permissions
Owner only
Each staff member has one role. The role's ticked permissions decide what they can do.

- To delete a role people still have, pick another role in Move them to, then tap Move and delete. One role is always kept.
Every store starts with two roles: Cashier (Sell only, the default for new staff; Senior and PWD discounts are always allowed) and Manager (everything except Store settings).
The permissions you can tick, by group:
- Selling: Sell, Give discounts, Do refunds, Void or exclude sales, Backdate sales, See all cashiers' sales, Drawer and remit.
- Inventory: Menu, products and prices; Stock in, adjust and count; Suppliers and payables.
- Reports: Sales reports; Profit and costs.

- Settings: Store settings.
Approve refunds stays a switch per person in Settings › Users › Edit. Billing, plan, Users, Roles & permissions, Multi Store, Payroll and the Activity log are always owner only. Every role change is in the Activity log.
Forgot PIN or password
- Staff: the owner goes to Settings › Users, taps Reset PIN (or Reset Password) on the person's row and types the new one twice. No old PIN is needed. The person is logged out on every device.
- Forgot your password (owners and staff): on the login page tap Forgot password?, type the email you log in with and tap Send reset link. Open the email and tap Choose a new password. The link works for 30 minutes and only once. Type the new password twice and tap Save new password. It works in every store where you use that email.
- Owner with no access to the email: ask PeppyPOS. Use Ask Peppy? › Message PeppyPOS support from another user's login, or the message form on our website.
- Change your own: Settings, then the My PIN card: Current PIN, New PIN, Confirm new PIN, Change PIN.
On stores that use passwords, give each cashier a Quick PIN in Settings so the lock screen works.
