RetailEasy on-cloud has two types of User classifications - Node User and Anywhere User. A Node User's login credentials can be used to access the domain only from Node that the User is registered with or has Re-Register access. A Node is a system from which RetailEasy on-cloud can be accessed. A Node user is a user who has registered access to the RetailEasy on-cloud via the Node.

Benefits of creating Node Users: 

The User Type is defined when the Employee is registered to the domain, thereby limiting the User's access to a registered Node (computer). Also, specifying the Role at the time of Employee creation defines the menu and sub-menu access of the User. A Node user can access other Branches, that are marked as remarked as Reporting Branches using the login. The Allow IP Address prevents the User from Logging into a Registered Node from an unauthorized IP Address, enhancing protection.
