Create and manage user accounts and permissions

Updated yesterday

Overview: Access Manage users

  • Only Admins with user management enabled can add or edit users

  • Managing users requires Admin privileges. The initial Admin can grant these permissions to others

To access Manage users:

  • Click on your property name top right > Manage users

Create a new user

To create a new user:

  1. Click your property name at the top right hand side > Manage users

  2. Click Add user

  3. Fill in user details: email, name and preferred language

  4. Select the apps your user needs

  5. Choose user level

  6. Click Save

Notes:

  • New users will receive an activation email that is valid for 24 hours. Once activated, they’re ready to login.

  • Each staff member who needs access to your property must have their own user account with a unique email address

Additional options

  • Disable/re-enable users: temporarily restrict access or grant it back as needed

  • Unlock users: help users regain access if they forget their password, this happens when a user has unsuccessfully attempted to log in 6 or more times and their account is locked. To unlock the account, the user will need to click Forgot password on the login screen and follow the steps on screen

  • Edit user permissions: modify app access and user level at any time

  • Delete a user: deleting is permanent, disabling a user is easier than deleting them.

Note: The e-mail address for the user account cannot be edited. If you need to change the e-mail address, create a new user account with the correct e-mail address and delete the old account.

⚠️ Important: Using Existing Email Addresses

No activation email will be sent when creating users with email addresses that already exist in the system. This happens when:

  • Recreating a deleted user: If you delete a user and then create a new user with the same email address, the system will restore the previous user's details

  • Adding existing users to additional properties: When a user is linked to multiple properties and you add their email address to another property

What to do: You won't receive an activation e-mail - simply go to the login page and log in with your email address and password. If needed, click "Reset password" to reset your password. For users added to additional properties, log out and log back in - the newly added property will automatically appear under your account.

Updating user details: You cannot change the email address, but you can update other details (name, phone number, language):

  1. Click on your profile icon > select My account

  2. Edit account details as needed
