# Access Control

## POS Security

The POS Security section is located under Verifone Commander Central > Site Management > (Select Site) > Access Control. POS Security is used for creating POS users, such as cashiers, and controlling their access levels to functions within the POS. Changes made at the site will sync with the dashboard, and changes made within Verifone Commander Central will sync with the store after saved.

### Employees

The Employees tab is used to add new employees who can access the point of sale. The ID number assigned to the employee will be entered into the POS at the time of login along with the password.

### Sales Functions

Functions that are tied to sales are separated into the Sales Functions tab. Options such as Error Correct, No Sale, Suspend, and Price Override can be found here. If the security level is 0, then all users with the cashier checkbox enabled can perform the function.

The security level drop-down menu allows a security level to be set for all sales functions shown. An additional search box allows the functions to be filtered down searching for the first letter of the description. For example, typing A will display apply updates.
