Managing users in Pickscan

Add, view, and disable the picker and supervisor users who sign in to the Pickscan mobile app. Each user needs a four-digit PIN to sign in.

Users page overview

The Users page shows everyone who can sign in to the Pickscan mobile app. Each user appears as a card with their name and role. A summary line at the top shows the total number of users, pickers, and supervisors.

Pickscan uses PINs rather than passwords. Every scan and action is recorded against the signed-in user, giving you a full audit trail of warehouse activity.

Add a user

  1. Open the Users page

    In Pickscan, go to Users.

  2. Click Add New User

    The Add New User modal opens.

  3. Enter the user's details

    Fill in First Name and Surname.

  4. Set a PIN

    Enter a 4-digit PIN, or click Generate to create one automatically. The user enters this PIN to sign in to the mobile app.

  5. Choose whether to make them a supervisor

    Turn on the Supervisor toggle if this user needs elevated permissions in the mobile app. Leave it off for standard pickers.

  6. Create the user

    Click Create User. The user appears on the Users page and can sign in to the mobile app immediately.

View a user's PIN

If a user forgets their PIN, you can look it up from their card.

  2. Open the menu

Disable a user

Disabling a user prevents them from signing in to the mobile app. This cannot be undone.

    Click Disable User to confirm.

Pickers and supervisors

There are two user roles in Pickscan:

  • Picker — a standard warehouse user who can scan orders and perform stock checks on the mobile app.
  • Supervisor — has elevated permissions in the mobile app with access to additional features and settings.

You choose the role when creating a user by toggling the Supervisor switch.
