Create and manage Little Hotelier users

Updated over 3 months ago

To access and edit users through the Manage users feature, you need User management permission enabled. If you don't have this permission, ask someone with User management permission to enable it for you.

Keep your account secure

Protect your user accounts and guest data by following these security best practices:

  • Create individual user accounts for each team member with unique email addresses. Do not use shared e-mail addresses like info@hotel.com

  • Never share passwords or user accounts between team members. This goes against the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

  • Avoid writing down passwords or sharing them with anyone

  • Use different passwords for different business accounts

  • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) through your Little Hotelier mobile app or a third-party authenticator app

  • Log out after each session when using shared computers and do not save credentials in browsers

Create a new user

Each staff member who needs access to your property must have their own user account with a unique email address.

  1. Click on your Property Name > select User management

  2. Click Add user

  3. Enter user details

  4. Under Account permissions, select if you want to enable User management access (to add, edit or delete other users)

  5. Choose the User level (Admin for full access or General for customised permissions)

  6. Click Create user

After creating a new user, an activation email will be sent to the user's email address to set up their password and activate their account.

Manage users

Admin users have full permissions except User management. General users get read-only access by default and need specific permissions enabled for additional access.

User level permissions

General users can be granted these permissions:

Property

  • Access to property and payment settings

Distribution

  • Access to room availability, inventory, rates and restrictions across all channels

Direct booking

  • Access to direct booking engine and website builder settings

Reservations

  • Access to Reservation details and operational reports

Connectivities

  • Access to third-party connectivity settings

Reports

  • Access to Operational, Strategic or Insights reports​

Front desk

  • Access to the Housekeeping report


Edit or delete a user

To modify or remove a user account:

  1. Click on your Property Name > select User management

  2. Find the user and click the ellipsis button (three dots button)

  3. Select Edit this user or Delete this user

Notes:

  • You cannot edit user details such as email address, first name or phone number. If details need to be changed, create a new user account instead.

  • You need to verify with multi-factor authentication (MFA) to edit existing user’s permissions

  • Once you delete a user account, it is permanent — you cannot retrieve their access or history

  • If you're unsure about deleting a user, consider restricting their permissions instead
