This topic explains the various security bits you should assign if you use ProtoBase credit card authorization. For more information about the Security application, click here.
Bit 91-Access to Osprey-this bit is necessary in order to revert the system back to dial-up when there is a Hi Speed failure. Epicor recommends you only assign this bit to management personnel.
Bit 573-Access to PBADMIN. Assign this bit to the specific user who you want to have access to PBADMIN, which is the ProtoBase utility screen used for settling transactions, viewing history, running reports, etc.
Bit 574-Ability to accept a declined check for payment. If a clerk does not have this bit, he can accept a check that has been declined, but only with a manager's override.
Bit 575-Ability to accept a declined bankcard for payment by entering the approval code manually. If a clerk does not have this bit, he can accept a credit card that has been declined, but only with a manager's override.
Bit 576-Allow clerks to accept a credit card without entering the last 4 numbers of the card number for verification. Note that if your system is set up to prompt clerks for the ProtoBase Customer Code (Last 4 digits of credit card), then you should assign this bit to all POS clerks, or else they'll have to enter the last four digits of the card number twice.
Bit 577-Ability to manually enter a credit card number. If a clerk does not have this bit, a manager's override is required before the clerk can manually enter a credit card number.
Bit 581-Ability to accept a credit card when receiving a payment on account (ROA)
Bit 621-Access to Alternate tenders in POS. Any clerk who has the ability to redeem a gift card may want to have this security bit because gift cards can be redeemed as Alternate Tender.
Bit 669 – (Gift Card users only) Access to the Gift Card Maintenance Window in POS. This bit works in tandem with bit 621 (Allow Alternate Tender's to be used in POS) to allow access to all phases of Gift Card activation and authorization.
If you use Paymentech/DIB, set this bit to Yes to allow a clerk to use all capabilities in the Gift Card Maintenance menu, including adding value to a gift card. Set this bit to No to block a clerk from accessing any capabilities in the Gift Card Maintenance menu.
If you use FDMS Cardnet/True Value, set this bit to Yes to allow a clerk to use all capabilities in the Gift Card Maintenance menu, including adding value to a gift card. Set this bit to No to block a clerk from accessing any capabilities in the Gift Card Maintenance menu.
If you use Wildcat/Ace, set this bit to Yes to allow a clerk to activate gift cards in the Gift Card Maintenance menu, and if you are on ProtoBase 4.83 or higher and your processor is Ace Global, the clerk can also check gift card balances from this menu. Set this bit to No to block a clerk from accessing any capabilities in the Gift Card Maintenance menu.
Bit 757- Ability to view the credit card number of a transaction in QuickRecall from the Misc menu. Epicor recommends you only assign this bit to management personnel.
Bit 758-this bit only applies if option 5980 "Force Gift/Cash Card activation" is set to Yes. Set this bit to No if you want to require a manager's override to cancel out of the gift card activation process. Set this bit to Yes to allow the user to cancel out of the gift card activation process without obtaining a manager's override. Epicor recommends you only assign this bit to management personnel.
