From the Back Office, create a user account for every employee that will access Restaurant POS. For accurate reporting and management, we recommend that you create a dedicated user account for each employee.
When you add a POS user, you can either adjust their permissions manually or assign them the desired user group and associated permissions, such as manager or bartender.
If you want to add several users at once, you can import users from a *CSV file.
- Log in to the Back Office with your Lightspeed Restaurant account credentials.
- From the main navigation menu, select Configuration > Users > POS users.
- Select Add a new user.
- Enter the POS user settings, such as their username and first and last names.
- Select a user group or individual user permissions.
Note: Selecting a user group will automatically give the user all permissions assigned to the group. - Click Add user to create the user.

What’s next?
You can always edit a POS user if you ever wish to adjust their access permissions or need to archive (deactivate) the user.
Assign POS users to a configuration so that it is only visible in the K Series app for these assigned users.
If you would like to add several users to your Back Office at once or export data to save and print employee documentation beyond the Back Office, see Importing or exporting POS users.
