POS Access
Using the POS Access settings, store owners can grant or remove user privileges to the Point of Sale system.
By default, the roles Administrator and Shop Manager are enabled with all capabilities for using the POS.
It is recommended you keep the default settings unless you are aware of the consequences.
For example, granting the publish_shop_orders to the Subscribers role would be a very bad idea.
