Job Permissions

[khusted]

Toast REALLY needs to have permissions follow the JOB, NOT the employee! This is one of the MOST frustrating parts of Toast (2nd being they took the option away to disable the search option with the new POS experience, which is causing major issues)!!!

Not sure what you mean by 'follow' but permissions are set at the job level but can also so be overridden at the employee level for cases where you want someone to have some more privileges.

Job permissions in Toast follow the employee, not the job. Example; if an employee has a server and host job, and if that employee clocks in as a host, he/is still has the same permissions as a server and can do the same functions as a server when being clocked in as  a host.

Oh okay, yeah they get whatever permissions are higher no matter the job they are clocked in as.

@khusted  That is correct. The highest possible permissions will be applied, and there's no way to change this. Thank you for sharing your feedback with the community! I believe if you don't use Toast payroll, you can create a new clock-in code for their second job. For example, they can use 11111 when clocking in as a Host, and 2222 when clocking in as a Server. I have seen this approach being used by many locations to achieve the desired result, but I'm not sure if it will affect Toast payroll or not.

Could you explain why the search option is causing issues? I can relay this feedback to the team.
