I am working in Odoo 19, and I want to restrict the number of employees who can apply a discount on orders in pos.

For example, if I have 5 employees, all of them should open, sell, and close the session of the pos once they finish working, but only two of them can apply a discount on orders when selling.

I already set up global discounts, and I have activated "Log in with employees" and also I have given the 2 employees who can apply discounts the "advanced rights" and others "minimal rights" in the pos interface.

Could you give me a hand, please? Thanks.

Hello
Do you want to know the difference between advance rights and minimal rights regarding Discount?

Codesphere Tech

You can hide discount button per employee with a small customization. So employee can close register but do not apply discount.

I want to prevent an employee from applying discount in the pos but allow him to close Register.

Codesphere Tech

Studio won’t help much inside POS UI.
The approach is:
-> Add a Boolean field (e.g., “Can Apply Discount”) on Employee
-> Inherit the POS Discount button template
-> Hide/disable the button based on that Boolean
So only employees with that flag enabled will see and use the discount button.
Hope this clears to you

Hi,

In Odoo POS, restricting discounts per employee isn’t fully handled by standard access rights—even if you use “Advanced” vs “Minimal” rights—because those mainly control broader POS capabilities, not specific button-level actions like applying discounts. That’s why your current setup isn’t enough. To achieve what you want (some employees can sell and close sessions but cannot apply discounts), you need a small customization. The typical approach is to add a Boolean field on the employee (e.g., can_apply_discount) and then modify the POS frontend (JavaScript) to hide or disable the discount button based on the logged-in employee. This way, selected employees can still operate the POS normally but won’t see or use the discount feature. Unfortunately, this cannot be done via Studio alone since POS runs on a separate JS interface, so a custom module is required.


Hope it helps
