Users and Access
Under Admin → Användare (Users) you manage who has access to the system.
Adding a person:
- Click Add staff
- Enter first and last name (both required – the staff ledger must be able to identify the person)
- Enter the personal ID number if you have it at hand
- Enter Ny PIN (4–6 siffror) (New PIN) and Bekräfta PIN (Confirm PIN). A PIN is required without an email; with an email it can also be set later
- Pick a permission group
- Enter an email only if the person also needs to sign in to admin or the staff portal
- Check Får logga in i kassan (May log in to POS) and click Lägg till (Add)
Email is optional – and it decides what the person can do:
| Without email | With email | |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in to the POS | With a PIN and POS access enabled | With a PIN and POS access enabled |
| Clock in and out | With a PIN and complete staff details | With a PIN and complete staff details |
| Sign in to admin / staff portal | No | After invitation, according to the person’s permissions |
Without an email the person is PIN staff. You can add the address later: click the key icon Grant login on their row. That keeps the same staff record, with PIN, punches and history intact.
⚠️ Do not add the same person again to give them a login – that creates a second staff record, splitting schedule, tips, history and payroll data across two identities.
Personal ID number – required before the person starts working:
The field does not block you when adding someone, but without it the person cannot clock in. The staff ledger is a legal requirement from the Swedish Tax Agency, so complete the details according to your procedures before the first shift. You can create a POS-only user right away and fill in the number before their first shift. While it is missing, the bell icon in admin keeps reminding you. Coordination numbers work too – enter them exactly as written.
Permission groups – not roles:
Access is controlled by groups you can create and fine-tune yourself under Users → Permission groups. Select a group appropriate for the person’s work. Examples:
| Group | Intended for |
|---|---|
| Admin | Owners and restaurant managers – full access |
| Personal | Waiters and kitchen staff – POS, KDS, waiter view |
Need something in between – a shift lead who may void orders but not see salaries – create your own group instead of handing out Admin.
Managing existing people:
- Edit – click the person to change group or details
- Grant login – add an email to PIN staff
- Pause – suspend access temporarily without deleting
- Remove – remove the user’s access after reading the confirmation
Tips:
- Only give Admin to owners and restaurant managers
- Pause accounts instead of deleting – history is preserved
- Set the personal ID number before the first shift, not after
- Review the list regularly and pause anyone who has left
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
