Managing Your Hotel Team (Role Types)

Learn how to invite team members, assign roles, and manage access for your hotel on Hopskip.

Written by Katelyn Neary

Hopskip uses role-based access control for hotel teams, giving Property Admins the ultimate ability to assign roles, manage access, and control permissions to maintain the most accurate profile.


​Understanding Hotel Roles

Every hotel team member is assigned one of four roles:

  • Property Admin — full platform access plus team management

    • Team management includes inviting teammates, assigning roles, and managing approval settings.

    • The first hotelier to log in for a property is automatically designated as Property Admin, if not specifically assigned already by August 1st, 2026.

    • If you need to adjust the property admin listed for your hotel after August 1st, please reach out to support via the chat bubble!

  • Lead Catcher — full inbound RFP access and notifications; can assign RFPs to other team members; the default role assigned to all new users

  • Seller — can respond to RFPs and submit proposals only

  • Viewer — read-only access across the platform

⚠️ Features outside a user's role are hidden in the platform UI. Non-admins see the Team Members page in a read-only, blurred state.

⚠️ At least one Property Admin must exist at all times. The last remaining Admin cannot downgrade their own role until another Admin is assigned.

Accessing Team Management

  • In the left navigation, go to Hotel Profiles

  • Select Account Management > Team Members

Inviting New Team Members

  • On the Team Members page, click Invite Member

  • Enter the new member's email address and select their role

  • To invite multiple members at once, click + Add Additional Members

  • Click Send — the invitee will receive an email with instructions to access the platform

Updating a Team Member's Role

  • On the Team Members page, locate the team member

  • Click Actions next to their name and select the new role

  • Changes take effect immediately

Role-Based Notifications

  • Property Admins receive an email when a new user joins the team (toggleable via notification settings under "New Hotelier Joined Property")

  • Property Admins receive an email when a new user requests access — only when the approval toggle is ON; this notification cannot be disabled

  • New users receive a confirmation email when their access is approved or when they are directly invited

Requiring Approval for New Team Members

By default, any hotelier who self-associates with your property is automatically approved and added as a Lead Catcher. Property Admins can require manual approval instead:

  • On the Team Members page, toggle on Require approval for new team members

  • When enabled, new self-associations will appear in a Pending Requests section at the top of the page

  • Click Approve or Deny next to each request

  • Denied users receive an email notification that their request was not approved

Adding Yourself to An Additional Property

  • Navigate to your initials in the top right corner and then My Profile

  • Click the My Properties tab

  • Click + Add New and search for the property

  • If the property has no existing users, access is granted immediately

  • If the property has existing users, your request follows that property's approval toggle setting!
