Roles (POS), otherwise known as POS Roles, are user types that can be associated with Staff profiles. The POS Roles can be assigned different permissions to allow the user different levels of access in the POS/KDS applications. When creating a new site, the roles will automatically populate with the Global Default Roles if that site is not created under a Node. If the site is created under a Node, then it will inherit the Roles that are defined at the node level. Roles can also be pushed from the Node to multiple sites in order to affect changes at multiple sites all at once.
In order to access In Store Roles from your site, select the "People" section on the left hand menu, then select "In Store" and then "Roles (POS)"
To see definitions of what each POS permission is, please see the article for POS Permissions
