The Elevated Permissions feature is a great way to temporarily grant a user access to an order action that they would otherwise not be able to do.
To turn on elevated permissions:
- In Restaurant Manager, go to Devices > Restaurant App Settings.
- Select the device profile you want to enable elevated permissions for.
- Scroll down to Beta Settings.
- Enable the setting Elevate permissions of another user.
To enable elevated permissions for a specific user:
- In Restaurant Manager, go to Users.
- Select the user you want to give elevated permissions to. For example, a restaurant manager.
- Click on the user, then click Edit roles.
- Click Additional Roles, then click Allow elevate permissions.
- Click Save.
Note: The user with Allow elevated permissions enabled must have a PIN code login. Also, ensure that other users do not have elevated permissions enabled.
Using elevated permissions
- Log in to Restaurant POS as a user without Allow elevated permissions enabled.
- On the Order screen, open the Item Options menu for an order item. See Editing order items for more information.
-
Select an action that you don't have permission to perform, indicated by a lock icon.
-
An Authorization Needed popup appears. To proceed, a user with the Allow elevated permissions user role enabled must enter their PIN code.
- Continue performing the action as usual.
