Learn how you can provide access to your account to other users working together with you           

Delegated access — is a Travelpayouts feature for partners who have a team or at least one assistant helping them with their work. 

Delegating access allows adding delegates to your personal account and giving them limited access rights. These users will be able to perform specific actions within your account without you having to give them your password or disclose any of your personal information. 

This feature can be very helpful if you have employees working for you or, for example, editors helping you create and promote content. Depending on the assigned role, each delegate will have access only to specific sections of the account and will be able to perform only a limited set of functions.

What roles can be assigned to delegates

You can choose from one of the following roles:

• Manager
• Virtual Assistant

Roles differ in the access to sections and functions in the account which we have summarized in a table below.

Only the owner of the account can:

• add and delete delegates.
• view and change personal data (email, password, country of residence, and other personal information).
• manage subscriptions.
• view and change payout methods.
• delete account.

How to add a delegate

1. Open your Travelpayouts account. 

2. In the bottom left corner, click on your ID, and in the drop-down menu, click on Profile.

3. On the page that opens, go to the Delegated access tab and click Add delegate.

4. In the Add a delegate window, enter the user's email address, select the desired role from the drop-down list, and click Add delegate.

5. Once the delegate has been added, a link will be sent to their email address to activate access. The link will be valid for 24 hours, if the access is not activated during this time, you will need to request to resend a new link.

6. After the delegate activates access, the information will be updated and the status will change to Active:
