# Multi-employee management
Enable multiple employees to access the POS register with controlled permissions, allowing secure operations and better tracking of user activity.
Odoo Point of Sale allows multiple employees to log into the same POS register using the **Log in with Employees** feature. This helps control access, assign roles, and track employee activity for each transaction.
## **Key capabilities**
When enabled, this feature allows you to:
- Define which employees can access the POS
- Assign different permission levels (minimal, basic, advanced)
- Track which employee handled each order for reporting and analytics
## **Configuration**
To enable multi-employee access:
1. Go to **POS Settings**
2. Scroll to the **PoS Interface** section
3. Enable **Log in with Employees**
Then assign employees based on their access level:
- **Minimal rights** → limited POS access
- **Basic rights** → standard POS usage
- **Advanced rights** → extended features and permissions
**Note**
- Leaving **Minimal** and **Basic** fields empty allows all employees to log in
- Leaving **Advanced rights** empty grants advanced access only to Odoo users
**Tip**
You can also access these settings directly from the POS dashboard by clicking the (**⋮**) menu on a POS card and selecting **Edit**.
## **Permission levels**
### **Minimal rights**
Employees with minimal access can:
- Lock or unlock the POS register
- Reload POS data
- Process standard sales

Employees can perform standard POS operations, including sales and general order handling.
