To switch users, open the menu and tap the switch-user icon next to the current user's name. On the Select employee screen, choose who is operating the terminal, then enter that employee's PIN. Once it's verified, they're signed in and operating the terminal.

## Key takeaways

- Switch users from the menu — tap the switch-user icon next to the current user's name.
- Choose the employee on the Select employee screen ("Choose who is operating this terminal").
- Enter that employee's PIN to switch to them.
- After switching, the menu shows the new employee as the signed-in user.
- The employee must already have a user account on the terminal.

## How to switch users on the terminal

Several staff can share one terminal. Switching users changes who is operating the terminal, without signing all the way out.

1. Open the menu from the home screen.
2. At the bottom of the menu — next to the current user's name and role — tap the **switch-user** icon.
3. On the **Select employee** screen ("Choose who is operating this terminal"), tap the employee you want to switch to.
4. Enter that employee's **PIN**. Once it's verified, they're now operating the terminal, and the menu shows them as the signed-in user.

> The employee you're switching to needs their own user account on the terminal. If they aren't listed on the Select employee screen, ask your administrator to add them.
