All User Roles contain Permissions that determine the access that a User has in Restaurant365. The default R365 User Roles below are provided as common Permission sets. These roles can be used as is, or they may be cloned as a starting point when creating Custom User Roles. R365 User Roles are always available for assigning to Users and cannot be edited or removed.
R365 User Roles are indicated with 'R365' after their name in the 'Select User Role' drop-down menu.
Users can be assigned to one or more User Roles. This allows for maintaining consistency in User Permissions for Users who wear multiple hats. Further fine-tuning at the User level can add or remove Permissions for individual Users who may need small adjustments to the Permissions granted by assigned User Roles.
Users can log in without being assigned to a User Role; however, they will not be able to view or access any portion of R365. For more information on assigning User Roles to Users, please refer to the User Setup, Security, and Location Access training.
