The following new permissions are introduced to restrict users from modifying the guest preferences that are saved in the reservation and guest profile:

• Stay_WritePreferences: Only users with this permission can modify the guest preferences in the following areas:

  • On the Rooms Feature tab of the Preferences & History section of a reservation and guest profile:

• Category and Feature drop-down lists.

• Add a Preference hyperlink

• Edit button in the guest profile

  • On the Rooms Preferred tab of the Preferences & History section of a reservation and guest profile

  • Select Preferred Room drop-down list

  • Priority drop-down list

• Delete icon

  • On the Guest Preferences tab of the Preferences & History section of a reservation and guest profile:

• Manage button

  • On the SMS Preference tab of the Preferences & History section of a reservation and guest profile

  • Save to Profile checkbox and the individual option checkboxes.

• Stay_AddPreferencesOption: The Enter a Preference text field on the Manage Preferences screen (Guest Preferences ➜Manage) will be displayed only to users with this permission.

By default, these permissions are provided to users with access to the following roles:

• System Administrator  

• Stay Hotel Manager  

• Department Manager 

• Profile Management 

• Guest Service Agent  

• Stay Front Desk 

• Stay Hotel Supervisor

• Guest Service Agent Supervisor

The existing WritePropertyPreferences and WriteTenantPreferences permissions allow users to modify the guest preferences at the customer level. These permissions are not dependent on the Stay_WritePreferences and Stay_AddPreferencesOption permissions.
