The user switching security setting is important to maintain the security of your store. You can choose from four permissions options required when switching between users:
- Never require a password when switching between users does not restrict users from switching.
- Don't require a password to switch users when switching with a barcode tells Retail POS not to ask for a password when using a quick switch barcode to switch users.
- Require a password when switching to a user with more privileges, for example, a password would be required when switching from Cashier to Manager or Admin.
- Always require a password when switching between users will require a password on any user switch.
Changing your user switching security setting
- Navigate to Setup > Security.
- From the Switching user accounts section, select the user switching security setting you wish to use.
- Click Save changes.
Quick user switching will always require a password when switching to an account with higher privileges. If a user has not logged in for the day, they will have to enter their password once to allow switching without a password afterward.
