Can you please direct me to a document that discusses how co-hosting listings works? I own the property and have a PM who also uses OR. How do I best achieve letting the PM manage everything (bookings/communications etc) but also have the listing show up on my direct book site. I'd also like the reviews to stay with my house should I part ways with the PM in the future. Does this mean that she should be the co-host and if so how does she manage the listing and communications?

thanks

The short answer is - they really don't.  You have to connect with the main channel account, not using a co-hosted account.

And OwnerRez itself does not support cohosting, per se - you can share your credentials with anyone you please, or, if you're using our Property Management premium feature, you can create a Portal Access account with Admin privileges, but in both cases the other person will have full access to everything, not just specific properties.

Hi Ken,

Is this something that is on the radar at all?  I've seen posts requesting being able to give more access to property owners going back to 2019.  I may have an isolated example, but I took over managing a property that my parents own recently and my dad would love to be able to see guest's communications and interact with them directly.  I know I can give him admin access to my account to enable that but the all-or-nothing option isn't ideal.

Yes, this is indeed on the radar, but it's a massive amount of work that is ongoing, and additional permissioning features will be evolutionary over time.

How do we connect with OR to request more cohosting flexibility within OR?
