Troubleshooting

Below outlines the most common troubleshooting issues:

New user not receiving welcome email?

Check that the email address was entered correctly and ask the user to check their spam folder.

Can't find specific user?

Use the Filter function with multiple search criteria to locate users more effectively.

User permissions not working correctly?

Review the permission settings (R for Read Only, R&W for Read and Write) and ensure the correct role is assigned.


Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between user and admin user roles?

Can I give users access to multiple properties?

Yes, select multiple hotels when creating or editing a user account to provide access across properties.

What happens if I don't set permissions for a menu item?
