    User Management

    User Management

    The Moneris Go application allows you to maintain a secure processing environment through a combination of users and user roles. No one can operate the terminal without signing in with a valid username and password. Each user is assigned a user role which determines which transactions and functions the user is allowed to perform. Continue reading to understand how to manage users and user roles.

     

    Manage existing users and create new users

    When you received the terminal from Moneris and signed on for the first time, you created a new user. You were automatically assigned the Admin user role. You can now create new users and assign roles to them.

    To view and manage users, and to create new users, follow these steps.

    1. Tap the Main menu icon, then tap Settings and enter your password.
    2. On the Settings menu, tap Users .
      The Users screen appears.
    3. Choose from the following tasks: 
      • View and edit user details. The application displays all users, in a compact format. Tap a specific user to see complete details for that user, then go to step 4.
      • Search for a user. Tap the Search field then go to step 5.
      • Create a new user. Tap the + sign next to the Search field. The new user screen appears. Go to step 6.
    1. On the Edit user screen, you can change a user profile.
      • To change the language, tap English or French. 
      • To change a field (Username, First name, Last name, Email, Role), tap it and enter a new value.
      • To change the user role, tap the field and select a new user role.
      • To change the user password, tap Change password and enter a new password using at least 4 characters. Refer to Password rules. 

        Note: If your user role allows, you can change your own password. For users who do not have access to the User Management screen, refer to Changing your password - for non-Admin users.

         
      • To disable the user profile so they can no longer sign in, tap Deactivate.

        Note: You cannot delete your own user profile.

         
      • Tap Save.
    1. In the Search field, enter a specific value, such as a username, a user’s first or last name, or even their role.
      1. The application displays all users that match your search terms. 
      2. Tap on a user to display full details.
    1. On the New user screen, tap each field and fill in the required information:
      • Username. For example, rsmith 
      • First name. Enter the person's first name.
      • Last name. Enter the person's last name.
      • Language. Tap English or French.
      • Email. This is an optional but recommended field. An email address allows the user to reset their password if they forget it.
      • Password. Enter a password using at least 4 characters. The user can change it later if they wish. Consult the Password rules.
      • Confirm password. Re-enter the password. The two fields must match.
      • User role. User roles control access to the application. Before creating any new users, refer to the User roles topic.
        Tap Save to save the new user.

     

    User roles

    Understanding user roles

    User roles are essential to maintaining the security of your terminal. They determine which users are allowed to perform which tasks. The application features 3 default user roles:

    User role Permitted to perform these tasks Usually assigned to this type of user
    Admin
    • Process all transactions 
    • Access all settings and reports 
    • Create and edit users and user roles 

      Note: This role cannot be changed.

       
    Administrator
    High
    • Process all transactions, including refunding and voiding the transactions of other users 
    • Access some settings and reports
    Manager
    Low
    • Process purchases, but can only refund and void their own transactions 
    • Access their own transactions in Reports
    Clerk, cashier, or server

    You can rename the High and Low user roles and change their permissions.

    Review the default user roles settings.

     

    Default user roles settings

    These are the default user roles settings. Any of these settings can be changed to meet your needs.

    Proceed to Moneris Go Plus - User roles - manage existing user roles and create new user roles to make changes.

     

    Manage existing user roles and create new user roles

    If the High and Low user roles are not enough, you can also create new user roles to match the roles in your business.

    1. Tap the Main menu icon, then tap Settings, then tap User management.
      • The "Users" screen appears.
    2. At the bottom of the screen, tap User roles.

    3. Choose a task: 
      • View and edit a user role: Tap a user role then go to step 4. 
      • Search for a user role: Tap the Search field then go to step 5.
      • Create a new user role: Tap + next to the Search field then go to step 6.
    1. View and edit a user role. View the details of the user role you selected and change them if needed.
      If your own user role is Admin, you can perform these actions:
      • Tap a field to edit it.
      • For transactions, reports, and settings, tap the adjacent toggle to enable or disable which ones this user role is allowed to access. Tap Save when finished.
      • Delete the user role.

        Note: You cannot delete a user role if that role is currently assigned to any users.

         
    1. Search for a user role. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter a specific value in the Search field, such the name of the user role (for example, High) or a word that might appear in the description of the user role (for example, manager)
      • The application displays all user roles that match your search terms.

    Change password for non-admin users

    Change password for non-admin users

    Any user can change their password using this function. However, it is most beneficial for users such as clerks, cashiers, and servers who may not have access to the User Management screen under Settings. Login to the application then follow these steps to change your own password.

      1. Tap each field to enter your existing password and then a new password. Refer to Password rules.
        • If you have forgotten your existing password, refer to Signing in and signing out.
        • The admin user can also change your password without knowing the existing password. Refer to Users.
    2. Tap Save.
      • The application returns to the Edit User screen.
    3. Tap Save again.

     

    General application settings

    General application settings

    Change these general settings as needed to match the way you work.

    1. Tap the Main menu icon, tap Settings, then tap General application.
      • The General application settings screen appears.
    2. To change the settings, follow these instructions.
      • Automatic sign out time. The application will automatically sign you out after 30 minutes of no activity. To change this time period, slide the control handle to the left or to the right.
      • Sign out after transaction. This option is disabled by default. If you enable it, the application will sign you out after you complete each transaction.
      • Display timeout. By default, the terminal goes into sleep mode after 1 minute of no activity in order to save battery power. To increase this time, tap the setting to change it to 2 minutes or 5 minutes.
      • Report reset time. This is the time when your reports will reset to $0. To change it, tap the field and set a new time. For example, if you set it for 12:00am, the reports in the application will cover the period from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. It is best to set the Report reset time 2 to 3 hours outside of your typical business hours – if you close at 10 p.m. set it for 12 a.m., if you close at 2 a.m. set it for 4 a.m. If you are open 24 hours, choose a logical break point like a shift change.
        Recommendation: If you changed the Report reset time, contact Moneris to change your batch close time (usually set to 11 p.m.) to reflect your Report reset time. This way, the time period covered in your batch file will match the time period covered in your reports.
    3. When you are finished with the General application settings, tap Save.
      • The application returns to the Settings menu.
    4. To return to the default transaction screen, tap the Main menu icon, then tap Transactions.

     

    Communication settings

    Communication settings

    Your Moneris Go terminal features dual wireless communication: cellular (3G/4G) as well as Wi-Fi.

    Cellular communication (3G/4G)

    • No set up is required for cellular communication. It is always on.
    • The terminal communicates via 4G by default for faster communication and uses 3G as a fallback where 4G is not available.

    Wi-Fi communication

    If you set up a Wi-Fi connection on your Moneris Go terminal, the terminal will switch to Wi-Fi when the Wi-Fi signal is stronger. To set up a Wi-Fi connection, refer to Connecting to a Wi-Fi network.

     

    Language Settings

    Language Settings

    All terminal functions are available in English and French. The language of the application changes automatically based on user information. There is no manual setting to switch languages.

    Merchant-facing screens

    • Each user profile created in the application includes the user's preferred language. Once the user signs in with their username and password, the application will appear in their preferred language. If a user wishes to switch from one language to another, they must change the preferred language in their user profile. Refer to User management. Users with a lower user role may need assistance from an Admin user.

    Customer-facing screens

    • The customer-facing screens will display in English or French based on the language code of the payment card. If the card language is neither of those languages, the customer will be prompted to choose English or French.

     

    Password Rules

    Password Rules

    When setting a password for your Moneris Go terminal, follow these rules:

    • It must be at least 4 characters.
    • No more than 2 repeating characters. For example, lou449 is acceptable but lou444 is not.
    • No common sequences like 123 or abc. For example, jp126 is acceptable but jp123 is not.
