Clerk Security Group Permissions – Administration
Back Office - Screens
About ▼
Allows access to the Administration menu, which is used to manage core records such as Venues (Location Groups), Locations/Outlets, POS Devices, and system-wide configuration. They also provide access to features that influence reporting structures, integrations, tax handling, and overall system behaviour.
Users with Administration access can configure how SwiftPOS operates across all Locations, including device settings, financial rules, and operational structures. These permissions are typically reserved for trusted users responsible for maintaining and administering the system.
Administration permissions provide comprehensive control over SwiftPOS configuration, covering system structure, financial setup, device management, and reporting behaviour. Due to the level of access provided, these permissions should only be assigned to users responsible for system configuration and maintenance.
