How to Set Up a Kiosk User

The following details how to set up a new kiosk user when someone needs permission to access the Kiosk software. As with other Community Connect applications, the new kiosk relies on specific user permissions that can be set in the Office application.

Begin by creating or opening a Community Connect user in the Settings>Users module in Office.

Open

Next, link the user’s personnel record to their user by entering their barcode number and clicking “Link”.

Open

Application Permissions

Now the user access needs to be defined by selecting the appropriate user permissions (or copied from an existing user). Ensure the user is set to have the “Kiosk” application permission. This is what allows the user to be able to sign into the kiosk and use any of its features. Many of the permissions under the kiosk application are accessible from one of the icons at the top of the kiosk window and are predominantly for managers or IT/support staff.

• Kiosk

  • Open & Close Register Session

  • Manual Drawer Open

  • Print X-Out Report

  • Configure Kiosk

  • Update Kiosk

  • Exit Kiosk in Appliance Mode

Module Permissions

What a user is able to do once they sign-in will be determined by the remaining global module permissions. The final step will be to grant the user permissions to modules and specific features.
