There are, generally, three types of user in Jomres.

 

Guests.

 

They can be either registered users (in which case, any bookings they create will be remember and they will be able to view past bookings) or non-registered users.

 

Property Managers.

 

Whilst Jomres offers a lower level user called Receptionist, this class of user is generally not utilised. Instead, the vast majority of managers are normal property managers. They have property and guest editing rights only for properties that they have created or been assigned to in the Show Profiles feature.

 

Super Property Managers.

 

A super property manager is a trusted user, normally a site administrator, who has property manager rights over all properties in the system, regardless of whether or not they created those properties or have been assigned to them. They will have rights to see and use functionality that normal property managers will not.

 

You can change somebody from a basic user to a property manager or super property manager via the Show Profiles feature.

 

Note : If a normal manager has not been assigned to at least one property, if they try to log in they will see an error on their screen and they will be logged out. This is a security feature, as we can't let Jomres guess which property the user has access rights to.

 

 

 

When you first start using Jomres, unless you don't have an administrator with the user id of 62 (or 42 in Joomla 1.6) you shouldn't need to play around with the user's settings just yet. Instead, you should log into the front end of the system as that user and learn about how property management is performed. If you don't have a user with that user id then the next thing you'll need to do is go to the Show Profiles feature and set up your frontend user as a Super Property Manager.
