Requirements

The user needs special security rights. Either Administrator user rights or add on to any user that should be able to administrate users – contact d2o support for further assistance.

Users not logging into PMI for 60 days will automatically be disabled from PMI and a message will appear when trying to login stating that the user can use the Forgot Password link to activate the account again.

If the user is not logged into PMI for 120 days the users account will be disabled and the user need to contact support@d2o.com to retrieve a new password.

  • You have to choose from the Hierarchy and connect an appropriate role from the Roles provided. These are based on predetermined access based on roles. These roles have different rights in terms of ability to edit and save data on any specific view. If you want the user to only have viewer rights you will leave it as it is. To remove rights you click the trash can, this will also remove the user from this property. You may add role on Hotel Level, Division Level or Department Level.
