      t_text: <p>Security roles specify what can be viewed in the system. All staff are restricted by their roles to certain sections of the system. Specific rights are set per role to organize the processes.</p><p>The roles vary depending on the type of staff. Managers can view high-access areas. Cashiers can only have very limited access to billing information. Kitchen staff can only see operational features.</p><p>Business data is protected by the use of security roles. Only the managers are able to view <a href="https://plumpos.com/glossary/real-time-reports.html">real-time reports</a>. System setting parameters cannot be tampered with by less knowledgeable users. Risks are lessened, and fewer errors are committed as a result of this feature.</p><p>In addition, they make the work across teams more accountable. A user has a certain role within the system, which is easy to monitor for the manager. Security roles make daily work easy, as everyone only sees the elements that relate to their work. Training them becomes easier. Security roles also improve the <a href="https://plumpos.com/glossary/payment-security.html">payment security</a> of a restaurant.</p>
