A Manager who only has access to Location 1 has been adding items through the "Create New Item" workflow within the "Edit POS Layout" screen on the dashboard. However, once saved, these items are being added to the Item Libraries of Location 1 and Location 2.
I contacted Support and was told this was expected behavior when adding new items through the Edit POS Layout screen. I do not accept that following a built-in workflow as it is intended to be used should result in items being created for Locations the user does not have permissions to edit. Team Members should not be able to create Items for Locations they do not have access to or permissions to edit regardless of how those items are created.
