If a user can access the cashier screen, then all privileges except the ability to grant a refund are included.  However, the user must be assigned to and logged into a virtual cash register (via Register Management) for these functions to work.  Otherwise, the screen will remain view only.

(Note that the privilege to Finalize an Order from the cashier screen is listed under Order Management privileges.)
