User Positions
User positions, while mandatory, are most commonly used when pay rates are assigned to users and when access controls are applied. Positions help determine which users can view others. For example, a manager may be able to see all users, whereas an assistant manager (who also has access to Staff & Security) can only see themselves and any users in positions below them. They would not be able to view users in higher positions.
