FasCard Admin Site - User Accounts

FasCard Admin Site - User Accounts

Overview

The User Accounts page is only accessible to users with Admin or User Manager privileges.  This page is used to add, edit, and delete user accounts and assign system privileges. The User Account page also allows an administrator to control which locations a user may access.

Managing User Accounts

MANAGING USER ACCOUNTS

Navigating to the User Accounts page under the Users tab will display an alphabetical list of the users that have been configured for the system.  Clicking anywhere on a user's row will display the additional details in the 'User Details' section of the page. Clicking the Add New button, which allows a new user to be added.  

User Accounts are not eligible for Loyalty programs (e.g. free dry, loyalty points, etc).

Understanding User Types and Privileges 

USER TYPES AND PRIVILEGES

The User Privileges section allows Administrators to assign the appropriate level of employee access to the FasCard system.

Users can be linked across multiple FasCard accounts.  Configuring a User account with the same email address in each FasCard account will automatically link the user to those accounts.  This type of User would be considered a "Global User". All associated accounts can then be managed using the same login credentials, with user privileges specific to each account.  Deleting the user account from a FasCard account will remove the account linkage without deleting the user account from other FasCard accounts. Only an Admin User may change the details of a Global User. 

User Privilege

Administrator Account (All Privileges)

Users with this permission have full rights and access to all user privileges including access to the FasCard Admin Site - Server Management page and Users pages.

  • Admin users are the only users who are capable of changing the credit amount in a customer's Loyalty account.

  • Admin users are the only users who are able to change Global User's detailed information. (Users linked to multiple accounts as stated above.)

  • Admin users are the only users able to view the following reports:

    • Loyalty Totals

    • Loyalty Bonus

    • Billing History

POS (Point of Sale) User Privileges

  • The FasCard System can work with POS (Point of Sale) systems.  However, to integrate an API/POS with FasCard, Store Owners must contact their POS administrator.  The POS administrators will determine what is needed for their systems to integrate with FasCard.  They potentially may need a username and password to integrate the POS with FasCard.  If this is the case, the instructions on how to do this are below in the section Create an API/POS user.

  • an API/POS User type (Point of Sale) is a specific user-created ONLY by a FasCard Account Admin user or CCI Technical Staff.  These users are created to generate a one-time password for the POS System Administrator to integrate the POS with the FasCard System. 

Users with Website Privileges

Users with Card Reader Privileges

Users with No Assigned Privileges

User accounts with no assigned privileges are considered to be 'Card Only' users and have no special access to card reader functions or the FasCard Admin site.  They may be assigned a card with a balance configured by an Admin or User Manager and their activity will be reported on the Employee Activity report.

Understanding Locations and Location Groups

LOCATIONS AND LOCATION GROUPS

The Location section allows an administrator to assign which locations a selected user has access to. This limits user access to the selected locations. Select the individual locations for which the user will have access or select the All Locations option if multiple locations are configured. If Location Groups are enabled, individual groups may be selected from the list or given access to all location groups using the All Location Groups option.

Group Assignments and Discounts

Group Assignments and Discounts

This section explains assigning a user to a specified Group and applying a percentage discount for the specific user.

To create a Loyalty Group for User assignment, you may review our Loyalty Groups guide here:  FasCard Admin Site - Loyalty Groups

Assigning a User to a Loyalty Group

Users with the User Manager Website Privilege can assign users to a loyalty group. When a user is assigned to a Loyalty Group, that user shares the same applicable discounts as whomever else is assigned to that specific Group, whether it be employed personnel, customers, or a mixture of the two.

  1. Click the 'Group:' dropdown and select the Group you would want to assign said user to. (Note: Group dropdown selection is based on what Loyalty Groups you have previously created.)

  2. Click Save to apply the saved group setting.

Applying a Percentage Discount to a User

Users with the User Manager Website Privilege can apply a discount of up to 100% to any User's account.

  1. In the 'User Discount:' field, type a numeric amount between 0-100 (max. 100) for applying a percentage discount of that number to the user's account.

  2. Click Save to apply the setting.

Free Dry Credits

Employee user accounts should not be able to accumulate free dry credits. Should the rare instance where an employee user account does have free dry credits stored and are able to spend said credits, this is not intended.

Please contact CCI Technical Support immediately to aide in resolving this issue, if needed.
