Security
Security is a very important feature of LinkedPOS where access to information can be controlled by granting access to specific operations. In order to have better control and making the on-going management of security easier, Role based security is implemented. In Role based security, a Role is created and permissions are granted to the Role. When a user is assigned a role, then permissions of that role are automatically granted to that user. Few Roles are automatically created when LinkedPOS is installed. However new Roles can also be created and existing Roles can be modified.
