Admin Profiles

[gr3yb3ard]

Hi,
Okay, I'm a TOTAL noob to the POS system (but I love it!).

I searched the forums for this answer...found a similar thread, but, no answer in it.

I created a new Admin Profile, however, there was no way to "check" the box to allow people with that profile to access the POS.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks

Hello gr3yb3ard,

It is possible to create new POS terminals.
You need to enter your POS admin section and press the "Create New Point of Sale" button. You will be able to add new account with login and password (please check this screenshot - http://screencast.com/t/Xt3nV2SJVn4A).

Please provide the related person with this link in order for them to log in:

Please do let me know if this information was helpful. Please specify your question more deeply in case if issue still remains.

Actually, what gr3yb3ard is referring to is the fact that Admin Profiles has changed dramatically and completely since ZC V1.5 and your installation instructions have not been updated. Also, Admin Profiles is now a permanent part of ZC and not an additional install like your instructions assume.

Point 3 and 4 of the installation instructions for ZC V1.5 is deprecated.

Here's what you need to do to get it to work correctly and show up in the profiles selection gr3yb3ard:

Go to Admin -> Includes -> extra_datafiles
Create a php file like the following:

filename: pos_defines.php

Put the following inside the file:

<?php
define('FILENAME_POS', 'm1_pos.index.php?selected_box=m1_pos');
define('BOX_TOOLS_POS', 'Point of Sale');
?>

Save the file and upload it to your server in the same path mentioned above.

Go to your Admin -> Admin Page Registration
Page Key - moPOS
Page Name - BOX_TOOLS_POS
Page FileName - FILENAME_POS
Page Parameters - LEAVE BLANK
Menu - SELECT WHERE YOU WANT THE LINK
Display on Menu? - Insert checkmark
Sort Order - enter your sort order
Hit "Insert" button.

You'll now be able to select it in the "Admin Profiles".

Thanks for the info. I tried this and everything seemed to work well, but, when an admin tries to use the POS they are still given the:
"Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience."

I'm sure that it is due to running v1.5 - it's just a pain to figure out.

Somewhere you might be missing something then. I'm going to test it with one of my staff profiles and see what I get and if there's another file that needs to be given access that's NOT on the menu. You shouldn't have any problems if you've followed the instructions BUT like I said, it could be another file needs access.

I'll check on that for you.

Okay. I just tested this and it seems to be working fine. You might have missed something somewhere. With the instructions above you should be able to access it without a problem.
