# Holding Settings
### What is a Holding?
A Holding sits above organizations and lets you:
* 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.
***
### Access Holding Settings
1. Log in to Guestway.
2. In the **top-right corner** of the platform, click your profile picture (or the circle with your initials).
3. Select **Profile organization**.
4. In the settings menu, click **Holding**.
Once inside, you'll see six sections — each controlling a different aspect of your holding:
* **General**
* **Organizations**
* **Hubs**
* **Owners**
* **Users**
* **Billing**
***
### General
Set or edit the **name** of your holding and define global settings that apply across the structure.
Use this section 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.*
***
### Hubs
In **Hubs**, you can set up hubs that are visible to all users across the holding. In contrast to [personal hubs](https://docs.guestway.io/settings/personal-settings/hubs) — which are private to a single user — these shared hubs are visible to anyone in the holding.
***
### Owners
In **Owners**, 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.
***
### Invoicing
Access Stripe invoicing and export ID Verification usage reports.
Sign in to **Stripe** to view invoices and billing details. You can edit your billing information and download invoices directly from here.
**Exporting ID verification usage.** Download a monthly **CSV** of ID verification usage — reservation codes, stay dates, and verification counts — to reconcile verification charges for holding invoicing.
***
### Why this matters
Holding settings are essential if you:
* Manage multiple organizations or brands
* Work with several owners or stakeholders
* Need clear visibility and control over user access
* Want a scalable structure as your portfolio grows
By centralizing everything at the holding level, Guestway helps you keep your operations clean, structured, and easy to manage — no matter how complex your setup becomes.
