Adding Users to the Open Hotel Front Desk Software
There are the following departments pre-setup in the OpenHotel PMS system. They are Admin, Manager, Front Desk, Housekeeping and Maintenance. Each department has a standard set of access levels. These access levels can be changed if you wish. For example, you may only want a manager to have the right to override a reservation rates or you can allow your Front Desk have that capability.

This article shows you how to add a user and assign them to the department that is appropriate for their access. The PDF below shows what the default access levels are for each department. If you wish to change any of the access levels for any department, please see the article which will post on 11/12/12.
