Create POS device roles and permissions
Assign specific roles to your employees to restrict or allow access to different functions on the POS device, depending on their job duties. The GoDaddy smart terminal includes three default permission groups that you can assign to smart terminal users:
- Employee: Employees can perform sales transactions.
- Manager: Managers have all the permissions that employees have. They can also void transactions and issue refunds for specific transactions.
- Owner: Owners have all the permissions that employees and managers have. They can also issue non-reference refunds and make changes that managers and employees can’t, such as changing passcodes or adding and deleting users.
You can update the permissions for these existing roles or add completely new roles with customized permissions.
Note: The ability to customize user roles is currently limited and may not be available in your dashboard yet. It will be expanded to all GoDaddy Payments merchants soon.
