A role is a group of privilege options defining what an employee can do. Employee Roles determine the EMC modules a user may access, and they also determine what types of transaction behavior an operator has (permission to do voids or open the cash drawer, for example). A single Role may be configured for all locations in the enterprise, or a role may be active in selected locations (Zone/Property/RVC). In addition, multiple Roles may be assigned to a single employee, making the configuration of roles a task-based procedure (a role may include permissions that only allow a user to "edit menu items", for example; see more in the best practices section). Also, job codes may be associated with employee roles, restricting clocked-in employees to a single set of permissions for the duration of a shift.
