# How do I set up Terminal security PIN codes?

Terminal PIN codes (passcodes) protect sensitive actions on your Oddle Terminal — like voiding a transaction, adjusting a tip, or managing payment batches. Each Terminal device has its own 4-digit passcode.

***

## Setting up a passcode for a single device

1. Go to **Channels > Terminal** in your Merchant Admin
2. Find the device in your Terminal list
3. Select the three-dot menu (⋮) on the device row
4. Select **Edit security settings**
5. Enter a 4-digit passcode
6. Toggle on the actions you want to protect:
   * **Voiding transactions** — staff must enter the passcode to void a completed payment
   * **Viewing batch reports** — restricts access to batch report data
   * **Starting or closing a batch** — prevents accidental batch operations
   * **Adjusting tips** — requires the passcode to modify tip amounts after payment
   * **Adjusting charges** — requires the passcode to modify charge amounts
   * **Kiosk mode** — always protected (this cannot be turned off)
7. Select **Save**

***

## Setting up passcodes for multiple devices at once

If you have several Terminal devices, you can apply the same passcode and settings to all of them in one go:

1. Go to **Channels > Terminal** in your Merchant Admin
2. Select the checkbox next to each device you want to set up (or use the select-all checkbox)
3. Select **Edit security settings** from the bulk action bar that appears
4. Enter a 4-digit passcode and toggle on the actions to protect
5. Select **Save** — you'll see a progress bar as the settings are applied to each device

***

## How do I reset a device's passcode?

To remove the passcode and all protection settings from a device:

1. Select the three-dot menu (⋮) on the device row
2. Select **Reset security settings**
3. Confirm the reset

For bulk reset, select multiple devices and choose **Reset security settings** from the bulk action bar.

***

## Who can manage security settings?

You need manager-level access or above, plus the **Edit batch cut-off times** permission enabled on your employee account. You can only manage devices for stores you have access to.
