Check-In Users
==============

Each database should have a user role named **Checkin**. This is the **only** role that is needed in order to log into TouchPoint Check-In.

We recommend that you create a people record to use exclusively for logging into Check-In. Once you create the people record, create a user account and select only the **Checkin** role.

.. note::
    **Checkin** is the only role that you can assign to a user without also needing to assign the **Access** role. **Checkin** has a special use case.

.. admonition:: Check-In User Records

    If you have stations for children and for students, create people records named `Child Check-In` and `Student Check-In` in the same family. Create user accounts for each one with usernames of `Child` and `Student` accordingly. Set passwords and assign only the **Checkin** role. All of your children's Check-In stations will log in using `Child` and the student Check-In stations will log in using `Student`.

The reason we recommend this type of set up is so you can give the username and password to a volunteer who can open your Check-In kiosks, but who cannot use those same credentials to log in to the normal TouchPoint application and have access to all of the people records in the database.
