Setting up Data Access
In this article
Data Access controls what kinds of information a teammate can read inside the apps they can sign in to. You add one row per data type and pick a level that says how much the teammate can see. Without any custom rows the teammate sees the data the assigned app defaults to. Data Access does not give them the right to change anything β only to view or export. Pair it with Action Control for write actions and Admin Access for settings.

Dependencies Between Permissions
- Time based access on Order Data also limits Sales Data lookups that depend on those orders.
- Sales Channel limits on Sales Channels also restrict Order Data and Sales Data to the same channels.
- App Access drives the starting set of data permissions. A teammate without an assigned app sees nothing regardless of these rules.
Recommended Starting Configuration: Counter Staff
A typical laundry counter cashier needs to take orders and look up customers but not see sales numbers. Set them up with:
- Customer Data: Unrestricted
- Order Data: Time based access, Same day only
- Sales Channels: Limited to specific sales channels (their store only)
- Sales Data: No access
- Logistic Data: No access
- Production Data: No access
- Marketing Data: No access
FAQs
A teammate sees no orders even though I gave them Order Data. Why?
Check Sales Channels. If you also restricted Sales Channels and the teammate is not in any of the ticked channels, they see nothing.
Does Customer Data Amount based access count repeat views?
No. The limit is a maximum number of unique records they can pull up over time, not a per-session counter.
Can I grant export but not view?
No. Export rights are tied to view rights for the same data type. If you do not grant a data type, exports for it are blocked too.
Does removing a Data Access row block access?
No. Removing a custom row falls the teammate back to the assigned app's default. Use the No access level if you want to block completely.
A POS cashier needs to see orders from other stores in the same company. How?
Inside the Order Data rule, switch on Allow access to orders from other stores under the same company.
