User accounts

Access to the Hospitality Manager application and to the WebAdmin for Hospitality administrators is via a user account.

The WebAdmin administrator must set up user accounts. As Hospitality administrator you have access to all user accounts which your WebAdmin administrator has assigned to the authorisation profile Receptionist or Hospitality administrator. You can edit the user name and password and view the access logs. However, you may neither create nor delete a user account.

Failed access attempts

Any user wanting to log in is prompted for the user name and password (access data). If the access data entered is invalid, access is denied and a log entry is created.
