The POS Admin card (also referred to as a personal account card or supervisor admin card) restricts access to various terminal functions as well as transactions that impact your account (e.g., Refunds and Voids).
IMPORTANT: You,
the merchant, are solely responsible for the security and care of all
your POS Admin cards at all times. If your POS Admin card is lost, stolen
or damaged (or you suspect it may be lost or stolen), call the Moneris
Merchant Service Centre immediately.
All transactions completed with a POS Admin card are subject to the terms
and conditions of your merchant agreement with Moneris. The merchant agreement
contains important provisions regarding your responsibility for POS Admin
card security and your liability for transactions made with a POS Admin
card.
There are a number of factors that affect whether the terminal prompts for a POS Admin card including whether debit cards are processed, how the terminal is set up on the Moneris Host and whether the SWIPE ADMIN CARD prompt has been enabled on the terminal.
The SWIPE ADMIN CARD prompt always appears for the following reports, regardless of the POS Admin card configuration:

To print complete Card numbers on the report, you must swipe a POS Admin card at the SWIPE ADMIN CARD prompt.
