In Vend, you have three different roles to assign to your users. The admin, the manager and the cashier. By default, the admin user will have full access to the account. For more information on these user roles, read on below:

Cashier:

The cashier is a great user level to assign to your non-management staff. They are able to do things like process sales, transfer stock and close off the register but are restricted from management functions such as adding and editing products and users.

Manager:

The manager user level represents the person in charge at one outlet. The Manager user is able to do everything a cashier can in addition to having access to their assigned store's reporting and ability to add and edit products if necessary.

Admin:

The admin user level is intended for the store owner or the head office account. As an admin user you will have full access to view & change all stores within your account. If you'd like more than one person to have full permissions it is possible to create multiple Admin users.
