Giving employees access to your Airbnb for Work dashboard

To grant your employees the right access to Airbnb for Work, you’ll first need to assign them one of these roles: Traveler, trip planner, or admin.

Roles

• Travelers: Employees who are travelers can’t access the Airbnb for Work dashboard, but can book business stays using their own payment method, or by charging directly to your company if you have central billing enabled. An employee can also make a reservation request on behalf of another traveler, which the traveler can either accept or deny.
• Trip planners: Employees who are trip planners have limited access to the dashboard and can only get details about the reservations they’ve booked. They can book stays on behalf of other employees who have authorized them to do so.
• Admins: Employees who are admins have the most access and can do the most from the dashboard. Admins can download spending reports, add payment methods, book and manage work trips for other employees, and more.
