Running a smart business often means sharing administrative tasks with your team. Because your property management system is already connected to NightsBridge, we do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. This means you will likely only need to pop into the system to adjust specific details, like updating your banking info, changing where your alerts are sent, or tweaking a room description.
Handing over these tasks shouldn't mean handing over the master keys to your entire setup. Whether you want to empower your managers to update room facilities or give your finance team secure access to payment settings, creating User Groups lets you give the right people the exact access they need.
Let's walk through how to quickly set this up together!
Step 1: Open your security settings
First, simply open your Property Menu and click on 'Users & Security'.
Step 2: Add your new group
Next,
- select the 'Manage Groups' tab
- and click the 'Add User Group' button.
Step 3: Customize their access
- Give your new group a clear name, like "Management" or "Finance".
- Because your calendar is already integrated with a property management system, you can simply click to hide the Calendar options, as you won't need these!
- You will see a list of access permissions you can share with this specific group.
- If you want to give a trusted management group full access to keep NightsBridge up to date, simply click 'Select All'.
Step 4: Save your new group!
Once you have made your choices, click 'Save'.
Your brand-new group will neatly appear in your list, ready for you to link your staff user logins.
A quick guide to access permissions:
If you prefer to grant specific access rather than selecting all, here is a quick outline of what the different permissions will allow your team to do:
Remember: Because you're integrated with a property management system the Calendar permissions don't apply.
