Since groups added on fields 'barcode' and 'pin' on hr employee in
rev: c9ca376146
It is not possible anymore to launch the POS when 'pos_hr' module is
installed. Because we don't want to allow users to access in read on all
pin codes and barcodes of employees. We've made a function that will get
a sha1 signature of the barcode and pin code of all employees to store
it in the frontend of POS.
We don't have other solutions concerning the security if we want to keep
the POS working offline. We also know that it is not brute force proof,
as pin code are composed of only digits and you can easily generate the
signatures of all pincodes.

=========
PURPOSE
=========
{Any employee can work on a PoS session, even if he has no user. This decreases the cost of PoS App.}
We are not competitive enough on the PoS Market because customers have to pay one user per cashier while they expect to pay one user per cash station.
===============
SPECIFICATIONS
===============
pos.config
- Add a checkbox : "Login with Employees"
- If set to TRUE, an "Allowed Employees" many2many appear
- If employees many2many is empty, all employees can log on this PoS
- If set to FALSE, can only log in with the currently logged user
hr.employee
- The barcode and pin fields were be moved to the hr.employee
- Set a barcode (not pin) by default at the creation of any employee
- No Employees module with PoS > dependency to hr
Open the PoS if "Log in with Employees" = FALSE
- Same behaviour than now, when I open the PoS, I'm logged in with the current user and can start working at once. The only difference is that it is not possible to switch users anymore.
- The button to close the session is visible
Open he PoS if "Log in with Employees" = TRUE
- When I open the PoS, the first screen I see is the login screen.
(a) I choose my employee and enter my pin code (if there is pin code on my employee, otherwise not required) (I can only see employees that have access to that PoS)
(b) I scan my barcode
(c) I scan my rfid card (future development)
- When I click on the employee name, I can log in with another employee
- If the employee is linked to a user that has the pos user/manager access right, I can see the button the close the session. Otherwise I cannot close the session (and thus cannot access backend).
- Add field employee on all records created by PoS (and replace the field user by that one) (on pos.orders)
Lock Screen
- Improve the PoS Interface
- Add a new feature to allow to "lock" the session. When a session has been locked, the user/employee has to re-log-in to access the PoS
- When I try to re-log-in, by default suggest the last employee logged in in the login screen
Migration
Plan a migration strategy > barcode and pin is now on the employee and not on the user anymore
