# Set user pins for POS access

Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/create-and-set-a-pin · Last modified 21 August 2026

If you are setting up POS for the first time, you'll need to add the PIN function to your POS configuration. This enables Salesforce to manage the PINs. Next, you configure a PIN for each employee.

If you are updating a PIN for a user, skip to the second procedure, [Set or reset a PIN for a POS user](#set-or-reset-pin "Set or reset PIN for POS user").

## Set or reset a pin for a POS user

Use this procedure to set (or reset) a PIN for a POS user.

A PIN must be numbers only (no letters or special characters) and at least 4 digits long, e.g. 2356. Depending on the security level you want, a PIN can be longer, e.g. 123456 is fine, but 123A456 is not.

1.  Go to **Setup > Setup Home**.
2.  In the menu, go to **ADMINISTRATION > Users > Users.** A list of your users opens.

3.  Click **Edit** for the user who's PIN you want to set or change. This opens their Salesforce record.
4.  Scroll down to the **Additional Information** section.
5.  In the PIN field, enter a 4-digit number, or change the existing PIN.
6.  Click **Save**.

It can take a few minutes for the data to sync before the user can use the new PIN.
