Adding a New User

In order to use the BestPOS system, users must first be set-up with appropriate IDs and access rights. This is typically done with the help of our staff by the owner of the store, or the store manager.

First, go to the User menu by going to Administration → A. Employee Profile → 1. Add/Update Employee.

You will come across the Restricted Access screen. As we're setting up users for the first time, enter 'admin' for the Admin user password. NOTE: It is very highly recommended to create the owner/manager user ID first with full access as the administration ID, and then enter all other users required. It is also highly recommended to change the default password if the Admin account is to be used.

Select 'Add Employee'

Enter the required information; you must enter the ID (typically first name or nickname), First and Last name, New Password and Confirm Password.

For the state of New Jersey, the PIN and Confirm PIN must be entered for Workflow use.

Click 'Save & Exit' when done.

Adjusting Access Rights

At this point you'll be required to assign proper authorization and access to the user just created. Simply look over the categories, and adjust any and all you wish to give Full Access, Read-Only Access (where specified) or No Access. If you need to get back to this screen, go to Administration → A. Employee Profile → 4. Access Rights Assignment and select the user you’d like to adjust.

Click 'Save & Exit' when done assigning Access Rights.

At this time the employee has been created, and they will be able to log into the BestPOS program.

Changing Employee Preferences

If desired, you can also alter individual user preferences according to their habits and needs. Log into the user account in question, then go to Administration → A. Employee Profile → 3. Employee Preferences.

When done changing their preferences, simply click 'Save & Exit'.

The employee is now fully set up and can begin entering sale transactions. At this time you can set up other users as you see fit by logging into the Admin ID or the primary owner/manager user ID and going through the same steps to create additional user IDs. When done adding users, it is very highly recommended you change the generic Admin ID password.

Changing Password

Make sure you are logged in as the Admin account. Go back to Administration → A. Employee Profile → 2. Change Password.

Enter the previous password (if doing this for the first time it is just 'admin') then enter and confirm the new desired password.

Click "Change Password" when done.
