User account management is performed via Admin > Control Panel > User Accounts.
Five levels of user accounts exist:
- Agency Manager - these users have access to all features of Origin
- Branch Manager (Origin accounts with more than one branch) - similar capabilities to Agency Manager accounts but access will be restricted to specified branches of the letting agency.
- Staff with finance - these user accounts have limited access to the Control Panel area of Origin, do not possess the ability to create and modify bank details, cannot export information, are unable to delete landlords and properties and cannot generate management and maintenance revenue reports.
- Staff - similar to the 'Staff with finance' access level but these user accounts have no access to the Bank feature, bank reports and cannot add / modify / delete landlord bank account details.
- Landlord - a landlord account must be associated with an existing landlord. Landlord account access is restricted to data relating to that landlord and any associated properties.
You can view all user accounts and edit or delete where applicable.
