Once the user is created you get to manage their role and their activity status.

**1. Allow users' permissions on CloudInn:**

Depending on the staff's role at your hotel, select user groups like below.

You can use the autocomplete option or click the magnifying glass to multi-select the user groups you need.

**Settings → Users → Select User → Groups**

**2. Associate a User to be a Cashier:**

* First, you need to make sure the user is given the correct user groups for cashiers i.e. **FO Cashier, Receptionist Cashiering.**
* In order for a user to have a cashier access, user should have a cashier number "cash drawer number".
* Click Save and edit. <img src="https://mintcdn.com/kwentra/HagJSRaBr-3RAXhp/images/settings/general-settings/add-edit-a-kwentra-user/bfbc56c1bb.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HagJSRaBr-3RAXhp&q=85&s=f94146bee7448dd6f884c9ee37ce1efe" alt="" width="1707" height="803" data-path="images/settings/general-settings/add-edit-a-kwentra-user/bfbc56c1bb.png" />
