SMRT Operations Manager is a permissions-based solution, which manages feature accessibility through user permissions. When setting up a new user (team member) in SMRT Operations Manager, default permissions are assigned to the user based on their role on the team. For example, a property manager would have more access than an assistant property manager.
Note: Any SMRT Operations Manager User with administrative privileges (generally, the property manager and above) can edit the permissions given to other Users.
This knowledge base guide defines each user permission in SMRT Operations Manager, and more specifically, how each permission impacts the user experience.
