secure cash drawer

Is there any way to lock a cashier when they walk away from a register? I need the cash drawer to be unaccessed by other cashiers. No, I don't want to use a key. Other systems we have used allow the ability to simply lock the system.

You can set the system to auto secure after each sale by:

SO Manager| File| Config| Options| POS Options| Force Logon Each Sale

Then close out of Manaer and POS and you should be good to go!

The problem with that is that anyone with a cashier account can log in to unlock the register. He's trying to make a single cashier the only one who can access their drawer.

You could try working with the drawer assignments in Cashier properties (you can assign each cashier to use either drawer 1 or drawer 2). If only one cashier is set to use Drawer #1, then only that cashier should be able to pop the drawer. That still doesn't prevent another cashier from logging into the register and processing a sale - they just have nowhere to put any cash they collect...

It should be possible to create an add-in to 'lock' the register - much like you can lock windows. Now that I think about it - giving each cashier a windows login and training them to use task manager to lock the workstation at the Windows level may solve your problem. Just make sure that no cashiers have administrator accounts.
