UI permissions

Minor user-interface permissions for input method and access to per-user permission setup.

This article covers a few minor user-interface permissions — input method settings (keyboard/on-screen keyboard) and access to setting up a user's individual permissions.

You assign these permissions in Financial under Security → Groups → select a group → Permissions (set Allow/Deny per permission).

The permissions

Allow change user input method

Controls whether the user may change their personal input method setting (e.g. keyboard/on-screen keyboard), which follows the individual user.

  • If the permission is denied, the control for changing the setting is disabled in the user interface.

  • This is a user-interface setting: it controls whether the option is available.

Allow change device input method

As above, but for the input method setting that follows the device (e.g. a specific POS terminal) rather than the individual user.

  • If the permission is denied, the control for changing the device's setting is disabled in the user interface.

Access user permission setup

Controls whether the section for setting up a user's individual permissions is shown on the user-edit screen — that is, whether you can configure another user's personal permissions.

  • If the permission is denied, the section is hidden, so you cannot set up the individual user's individual permissions.

Note: This permission is a user-interface control — it controls whether the section is shown. Use it to keep the setup out of sight for employees who should not work with individual permissions.

Good to know

  • The two input method permissions apply to the individual user and the individual device respectively — they are separate.

  • By default everyone (the Everyone group) has both input method permissions.

  • Allow vs. Deny: An explicit Deny wins over an inherited Allow.
