My approval code
The approval code is a 6-digit code, different from your PIN, that only you know. Nobody can read it, not even the administrator. It is used for two things:
- at the register, authorising the declaration of a manual payment without a signal from the machine: the cashier chooses your name, then you type your code. This action is reserved for an operations manager (administrator, operations or supervisor), never the person declaring (see Manual payments);
- in the mobile app, on a phone without biometrics, confirming a sensitive action done in the venue (see Approve from your phone).
The screen is not in the main menu: click your name, at the bottom of the menu, then Mon code de validation (My approval code). It only exists in the back office of the venue: the code never leaves the venue.
My code’s status
Section titled “My code’s status”The État (Status) block says: posé (set), pas encore posé (not set yet), bloqué jusqu’au … (blocked until …), or votre rôle ne valide pas (your role does not approve).
Set or change my code
Section titled “Set or change my code”- Enter Mon mot de passe (My password): it confirms that it really is you (never the PIN).
- To change an existing code, also enter Mon code actuel (My current code).
- Enter the Nouveau code · 6 chiffres (New code · 6 digits) (different from your PIN, not too simple), then Nouveau code, encore (New code, again).
- Click Poser mon code (Set my code) (or Changer mon code, Change my code).
The action is recorded in the audit log (« code posé / changé », code set / changed), never the code itself. The fields are cleared after each submission.
Forgotten or blocked code
Section titled “Forgotten or blocked code”After several wrong attempts, the code is blocked for a while: the screen shows « Code bloqué » (Code blocked) with the end time. A blocked or forgotten code cannot be reset by yourself:
- Ask the administrator to reset it: Users → your account → Remettre à zéro son code de validation… (Reset their approval code…).
- Come back to Mon code de validation (My approval code) and set a new one with your password.
In the meantime, another manager approves in your place.
