Overview
After an account is created, the next step is to add the Users for your account.
Adding users and managing their roles is critical, because roles define what each user account is able to see and do. For listings and OTAs, we also present another layer of security called permissions. Different levels of permission restricts ways each user is allowed to interact with your listings, without accidentally modifying anything that they are not supposed to. Utilising it allows you to give your staff more restrictions/privileges in addition to their current staff privileges.
