Security Access and Permissions Page

The Permissions page details information on an employee's Security Access. This page will show their security role, what pages and functions they have access to, and what pages or actions they have recently visited. It can be useful for discovering the boundaries of a custom security role an employee has or if an employee has made any updates to the system. To learn more about Security Roles, visit Toast Payroll: Manage Security Roles.

Begin on an employee's profile. Navigate to Profile > Permissions. Three tabs are found here and each tab has a section below.

Audit Tab

Note: This page can take between 30 seconds and two minutes to load. This is expected behavior.

If you are looking for what an employee has done within the system, this page can be used for tracking. It shows any page the employee has accessed, the action that was taken, the IP address of the device used to take this action, and the day and time this was performed. The Audit tab is also helpful in determining if an employee has recently logged in successfully or if their password has recently expired for general login troubleshooting.
