Plan For Security

This outlines how to plan for Security when it comes to allow/denying Clerk/Staff access to Back Office menus, features/functions and reports.

To add a new Allergen to the list of currently available Allergens, do as follows:

Identify the different Security Groups that will need to be setup the Venue.
For each Security Group identified, plan the specific access that each will be allowed/denied.
- Use the list of Permissions and Reports in the Security Group Full Edit screen above, to assist in this process.
- Select/tick the appropriate checkbox opposite the specific Permissions/Reports to ALLOW access.
- Unselect/untick the appropriate checkbox opposite the specific Permissions/Reports to DENY access.
Once all Security Groups are defined and the appropriate Permission/Report checkboxes set, it is then a simple process of assigning each Clerk/Staff Member to their appropriate Security Group. This can be done using the Clerk Full Edit screen.

The table below shows some examples of typical Security Groups and the Permissions/Reports they may potentially be granted access to:

Security Group	Permissions
Administrators	Allowed full access to the software. Typically people in this group would have been trained in the use of the software and are involved in the technical setup of the software.
Managers	Allow access to financial data such as sales reports, as well as be able to edit Clerks, Members, Products, Suppliers, etc.
POS Clerks	Generally would NOT require any access to SwiftPOS Back Office and therefore would be denied access to all Permissions/Reports. However, they would still require access to use SwiftPOS Touch terminals.
Stock Controllers	Generally would require access to the Inventory and Purchase Permissions modules and potentially to some of the Inventory and Supplier reports.
