How to Create a New Secondary User & Set Permissions

⚠️ If the user you're inviting already has a Hospitable account as a:

  • Secondary User: You should invite them using the same email they use for their existing Hospitable account. This will allow them to easily toggle between the accounts to which they have secondary user access.

  • Primary User: The same email cannot be used for both a primary and secondary user account. If this is the case, you can (1) reach out to support to have their account migrated to a secondary user account or (2) invite them as a secondary user using a different email than the one they currently use on Hospitable.

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Click on User Management

  3. On the User Management page, please click on + Invite a user to be taken to the new user's page.

  4. Add the user's first name, last name, and email

  5. Select their access (do you want them to have full access to your account or custom access?)

    Full access gives the user full permissions and access to your Hospitable account. Note, however, that secondary users do not have access to billing, muting or unmuting properties, or accessing API keys.

    Custom access allows you to set which permissions the user will have.

    If custom access is selected, go to Permissions and configure access settings.

    Access to the following features can be disabled or enabled for each individual user:

  6. Set Permissions: If you selected Custom access, you'll need to choose which of these to add to the secondary user:
