Users & Access

Venditan Commerce’s permissions-based user management system allows you to control access across the platform.

Creating a User

Every staff member needing access to Venditan Commerce must be set up as a User.

Each User requires:

Data	Summary
Name	The User's First and Last Name.
Email Address	The User's email address.
User Profile	This grants administration rights based on the assigned User Profile. See below.
Manager	Can be used to assign a Manager to the User.
Communication Settings	Enable or disable receipt of email communication from Venditan Commerce.

Manage Administration Rights with User Profiles

User Profiles define Administration Rights and are created for different business departments, such as Order Fulfilment, Finance, and Marketing.

Rights are set at a task-specific level, providing detailed control over:

1. The information Users can view.

2. The tasks Users can perform.

Administration Rights are controlled across several key administrative areas.

Venditan Commerce contains hundreds of individual Rights that can be granted or revoked–the table below summarises what can be controlled.

Area	Summary	Examples
General	Provides access rights to Administrative functionality.	Manage Company Information
EPOS	Control access rights to EPOS functionality.	Edit EPOS Change Settings, Run a Z Read Report

Super Users

Super Users can access all areas of Venditan Commerce, except for managing Users, User Profiles, and Administration Rights.

Managing User Permissions

For security purposes, managing Users, User Profiles, and Permissions is restricted to the Venditan team by default. If you need these capabilities, contact us to discuss enabling them.

Build in your approval processes and workflows

Integrate approval processes seamlessly into your workflows with Venditan Commerce.

By creating distinct User Profiles, you can assign critical actions to be authorised by appropriate personnel.

Examples of approval workflows include:

• Order Approvals: Manager approval is required to ensure accuracy and accountability before finalising orders.

• Purchase Order Generation: Manager approval is required to validate Purchase Orders before creation or submission.

• Dispatch Approvals: Review and authorize dispatches to minimise errors and maintain operational control.

Built with flexibility in mind

With years of experience building retail and eCommerce workflows, Venditan Commerce has supported many use cases. During onboarding, we’ll work with you to specify your requirements and configure the necessary approval processes tailored to your workflow.

Group users with User Groups

User Groups allow you to efficiently organise and manage multiple Users with similar roles or permissions.
