Understanding users and role management in Mews Multi-Property

In Mews Multi-Property, you can easily set up, customize, and manage users and roles across your multiple properties, on both a portfolio and property level. This lets you securely provide all your employees with the minimum access that they require to do their job effectively using their permissions. You can assign or revoke access to multiple properties at once, all from your Mews Multi-Property account, which makes employee onboarding and offboarding easy. This centralized form of control reduces security risks, avoids manual task repetition per property, makes user management across multiple properties faster, error-free, and more efficient. 

With Mews Multi-Property you can:

  • Manage users and roles, across all your properties, from one central location, saving time spent managing users per property.
  • Create roles and configure them with specific permissions, enabling role-based access control, and check user permissions and access.
  • Edit roles to update multiple user permissions at once, no need for individual updates per user.  
  • Export user lists for audits and quickly onboard and offboard your employees.
  • Prove compliance in audits by providing accurate records of all users across your portfolio.

User types in Mews Multi-Property

You set up different user types in your Mews Multi-Property account:  

  • Central users: Users that can access and manage your portfolio multi-property account. They have Admin permissions across all properties in your portfolio.
  • Property users: Users that can access a specific property(s), with permissions corresponding to the role you assign them. They cannot access your multi-property account.

You can manage both user types on the Users screen in Mews Multi-Property, organized in two tabs: Central users, and Property users. 

 

Central users

You can add, update and remove Central users in your multi-property account. You can access your Central user details by clicking on the Edit icon - users screen - MMP.png  Edit icon corresponding to the user's name. 

 

This opens user details screen, where you can: 

  • update the editable fields and click Save changes to save your changes, or  
  • click the Bin icon to remove the user.

Property users

You can add, update and remove users from the properties in your portfolio, from your multi-property account. Property users are specific to each property within your portfolio, with permissions according to the role you assign them. They cannot access your Multi-Property account. Note: A user may have access to multiple properties.

  • Click the Edit icon beside each user to make changes to the individual user, or  
  • the Bin icon to remove them.  

Note 

  • You can complete bulk actions in Mews Multi-Property, such as bulk removal of property users. To complete a bulk action, click the checkbox(s) beside the user’s name to select multiple users. 
  • Removing a Property user in your Multi-Property account removes the user from all properties they have access to.

Click on the Filter by search icon next to the column headers to filter your search. Click the icon to reorder each column, for example, alphabetically.  

You can see the following information per user. 

  • Name: Full name of user.
  • Email: User’s email address.
  • Department: Departments the user is active in, per property. For example, if the user is in different departments in different properties, you can see a list of all departments the user is active in.
  • Roles: Roles the user is active in, per property. If the user is active in multiple roles across different properties, you can see a list of all active roles.
  • Properties: Total number of properties the user has access to.
  • Last log in: Last log in time of the user to their Mews account, in any property. Tip: You can sort to quickly identify inactive users.
  • Status: Status of the user, for example, Pending, Active. Pending refers to a user who is yet to accept the invitation to access their Mews account. Active refers to active users.

Roles

Roles are a grouping of permissions which grant users the ability to do certain tasks, for example, Housekeeper, Front-office manager. Note: There are no limits on the number of roles that you can create and configure in Mews. You can learn more about roles on a property level here. 

 

In Mews Multi-Property, you can manage user roles across all your portfolio of properties.   

  • You can create new roles, customize user permissions, role details, and assign or unassign users. This makes the onboarding and offboarding of employees easy, and you can export your property roles list to Excel for auditing purposes. 
  • You can create roles on both a property and portfolio level. Roles you add on a portfolio level are accessible to every property in the portfolio and you can assign them to any property user.  

 

You can set up:  

  • Central roles: Central roles appear in all properties within your portfolio. You can create, edit and delete Central roles from your multi-property account only. You can assign these roles to property-level users, without accessing the individual property. You can learn more about setting up, customizing and deleting central roles in Mews Multi-Property here. 
  • Local roles: These roles apply to a specific property only. They are not accessible to other properties in your portfolio. So, you can customize local roles to a specific property’s needs.  

Notes 

  • You cannot delete a role with assigned users. You can learn more about deleting roles here 
  • When creating a new role, you need to enter a name and select permissions. 
  • You can export local role data created on a property-level only.
