You can always edit a POS Office user if you ever wish to adjust their access permissions or need to archive (deactivate) the user.

If a user ever forgets their unique password and PIN (used to open a session on the POS), an admin user can adjust this by editing the user's information on the Back Office.

If you need some specific data on a user's sales, the Audit function is helpful. It displays a record of all user sales during a period which can be saved to your computer and printed out for documentation purposes.

See duplicating POS users, If you want some POS users to have similar user profiles, then you can simply duplicate an existing user and then customize the newly created user afterwards.

Edit business locations for POS users if you have several business locations.

You can also deactivate POS user information via the Back Office if for example an employee is no longer actively working with the team. This means the POS user will not be able to log in to the POS from the moment of deactivation.

Edit a POS user

By editing POS users you can make some further adjustments, such as changing or deleting the Pin code for logging in to the POS.

1. Log in to the Back Office with your Lightspeed Restaurant account credentials.
2. From the main navigation menu, select Configuration > Users > POS users.
3. Select Configure.
4. Define the user status.
   Note: The user status shows the user activity and user’s pin code. The user activity means if the user is allowed to use the POS (active) or not (inactive). The user’s pin code is the individual pin code for logging in to the POS. The code consists of four digits of choice.
5. Change the user details as needed.
6. Select Update.
