Managing Users

Applies to: Owner, Admin

Users are the login accounts that people use to access HOA Hub. Every user account is linked to a contact record — you always start from a contact when granting someone access.

A contact is a person in your community directory. A user is a login account. Not every contact needs a user account — you might have contacts on file for absentee owners or past residents without giving them access to log in. When you invite someone, you’re creating a user account and linking it to their existing contact record.

To give someone access to HOA Hub, you need to start from their contact record:

  1. Open the person’s contact page from the Neighborhood directory
  2. Switch to the Users tab
  3. Click Invite User
  4. Enter their email address and select a role
  5. Send the invitation

The invited user will receive an email with a link to create their account. Until they accept, they appear in the Unanswered Invitations section of the contact’s Users tab.

Each user account has a role that determines what they can see and do:

RoleAccess
OwnerFull access to all features and settings. Can manage billing and transfer ownership.
AdminFull access to all community management features. Cannot manage billing or ownership.
Board MemberCan create events, view the inbox, and access board-level features.
ResidentCan browse the directory, view documents, submit tickets, and RSVP to events.
Billing ManagerCan access billing and payment settings.
AgentCan manage tickets in the inbox.

For a quick overview of every account in your community, navigate to HOAUsers. This page lists all users with their email, role, status, and last login date. You can search by email and filter by status.

If someone should no longer have access — for example, a board member whose term has ended or a resident who has moved — you can deactivate their account from the HOAUsers page. Deactivated users can no longer log in but their contact record and history are preserved.
