Creating a property for a Property Manager

New users need to be given access to a property before they can configure and use it. As the System Administrator your job will be to create a new property then assign the user to that property.

To create a new property log into the front end of your Explore installation as the admin user. Click on any link that will bring you to the Explore component. Assuming that you haven't changed Admin's authorisation status you should now see the Property Manager's toolbar. 

This is the New Property icon:

Click on it and you'll be taken to the new property page. Enter the property's name, any other details that you may have and click Save. 

Now, you can return to the backend of Explore and navigate to the Show Profiles page. Find your new property manager and change their status to authorised, then change their default property to the new one you've just created. Don't forget to change them too from a Receptionist to a Property Manager.

Alternatively, you can use the self registration module. This module allows any registered user to create a new property. Once they've followed the required steps they will be a manager for that property. You will need to ensure that the Site Configuration option "Users can register their properties?" is set to Yes and you've installed and published the self registration module.
