    1. Select the POS language.
    2. Select the Employee level.

      The employee level is a layer of security that gives an employee access to some employee records but not others. This field allows a one-digit entry, where 0 gives the most access and 9 gives the least access. For example, an employee with level 2 access can see all employees with levels 3 through 9 but can’t see employees with levels 0 through 2 (including themselves). Level 0 should be reserved for System Administrators while a level like 8 or 9 to be used for cashiers or servers.

    3. Enter the Employee group.

      The employee group is another level of security that controls employee access to other employee records. This field is more restrictive than the Employee level field, which is more commonly used. The Employee group field allows a three-digit entry. If you set the employee group number to 0, the employee can view all other employee records. Any other number restricts the employee to view only employees with that same number as their employee group. For example, an employee with a group number of 17 can only view other employees from group number 17.
