Holding Settings

Holding settings allow you to structure and manage your entire GuestWay account at a global level. They are designed for groups managing multiple organizations, owners, and users under one umbrella.

What is a Holding?

A Holding is the top-level structure in GuestWay. It sits above organizations and allows you to:

• Group multiple organizations under one parent account

• Manage owners at a global level

• Control user access across organizations

• Keep your portfolio structured and scalable as you grow

This is especially useful for property managers, groups, or agencies managing multiple brands, regions, or legal entities.

Navigating to Holding

2. You’ll see four main sections:

   • General

   • Organizations

   • Owners

   • Users

Each section controls a different aspect of your holding structure.

General settings

In General, you can:

• Set or edit the name of your holding

• Define global settings that apply across the structure

This is mainly used to clearly identify the holding that groups all your organizations together.

---

Organizations

The Organizations section is where you structure your portfolio.

Here you can:

• Create new organizations under the holding

• View all existing organizations linked to it

This is the place to create and manage different companies, brands, or operational entities that belong to the same holding.

👉 Think of organizations as operational units inside your holding.

---

Owners

In the Owners section, you manage who owns the holding.

You can:

• Add new owners

• Remove existing owners

Owners typically have high-level access and control over the holding and its organizations.

---

Users

The Users section lets you manage everyone who has access to the holding.

Here you can:

• Add new users

• See all existing users

• View which organizations each user is part of

This gives you a clear overview of who has access to what, making it easier to manage permissions across multiple teams and organizations.
