Roles
HqO Visitor Management uses role-based permissions to control who can create, view, and manage visits. The role assigned to each user determines what they can do, scoped to either a tenant company or a landlord's buildings.
How roles are assigned
You must be invited to the platform before you can use Visitor Management. Depending on your building's configuration, a member of the property staff or another member of your team invites you and assigns your role.
Tenant roles are scoped to a single tenant company. Landlord roles are scoped to the buildings a user manages.
