How to Restrict Settings Access to Admin Users Only
To protect your point-of-sale (POS) system's global configurations from unauthorized changes, you can restrict access to the settings menu. By enabling the Disable Settings for Non-Admins feature, the settings gear icon will be completely hidden from all standard staff accounts (like cashiers or standard users). Only users with full Admin privileges will be able to view and modify system settings.
Part 1: Enabling the Restriction (Admin Only)
You must be logged into the POS system using an Admin account to perform these steps.
- Navigate to your main Settings and open the POS Global Settings window.
- Scroll through the available options until you locate Disable Settings for Non-Admins.

- Click the Save Settings button in the bottom right corner to lock in your changes.
Part 2: What the Non-Admin User Sees
Once the setting is saved, the restriction is applied immediately to all standard user accounts.
- If a standard user (for example, a cashier with the username "cash") logs into the POS system, their main dashboard will load normally so they can process orders.

How to Reverse This Action
To restore settings access to your staff, you must log out of the standard user account and log back in using your Admin account. The settings gear icon will always remain visible for Admins. Simply return to the POS Global Settings and toggle the option back OFF.
