Agent Interface vs. Traveler Interface #

Agent Interface: This is what your users will see. Users can create, edit, and update information related to the Back-End system (Bookings, Contacts, Trips, Transactions, etc).

Traveler Interface: This is what your travelers will see. Travelers can view, self-manage, and edit data related to the Client facing applications (Trip Page, Online Booking Engine, My Profile).

Example of Agent Interface and Traveler Interface (Trip Page)

How can I add another user to my Agent Interface? #

Your administrator can follow these steps to add a new user:

  1. Click on the hamburger nav (top right) to open up the side navigation

  2. Click on Users in the purple sidebar that opens on the right

  3. Click Create (top right)

  4. In the Create User pop up modal

    1. Add First Name

    2. Add Middle Name (optional)

    3. Add Last Name

    4. Add Email

    5. Assign that user a security role (see roles and permissions to determine correct role for new user)

  5. Click Create

    1. Once created, that user will receive a Welcome email from Groupdesk and a link to set their password

If the desired email address is already in use, you should search Users or Contacts for the existing record. If you are looking to upgrading that user (for example, from Trip Planner, to Trip Planner and User), follow these steps:

  1. Open the Contact Record

  2. In the Contact Record Overview module, under Type

  3. Click Type + and add Type Staff

  4. Do a new User search for the contact email

  5. Open the User Record

  6. In the User Record Overview module, change the Security Role * to the desired role

  7. Click Update

Suggestion: Limit Administrator users

I need help logging in! #

I am a User trying to login on the Agent Interface: #

Please try these steps before contacting Groupdesk:

  1. Hard refresh your webpage

  2. Use Google Chrome as your web browser

  3. Ensure you have Third Party Cookies enabled in your chrome settings. Go to chrome://settings/content/cookies in your Chrome address bar and set the Block third-party cookies toggle to false

  4. Make sure you are using the correct email for your Groupdesk login

  5. Make sure you are logging in to the Agent Interface and not the Traveler Interface

    • Your Agent Interface url will typically be something like: companyname.groupdesk.io

  6. Have another active user double check that you did not use your Groupdesk account email to attempt a test booking on the Traveler Interface (this will kick you out of your Agent Interface account because it thinks you are a traveler who should not have access to the Agent Interface)

    • If this happened, you need your Groupdesk Admin to edit the booking you created so that the email is an alias of your Groupdesk login instead of identical.

      • ie: if your Groupdesk login uses human@company.com, your alias needs to be human+test@company.com, or human+123@company.com, etc…

  7. Ensure you have disabled Samesite by Default cookies

    1. Open Chrome

    2. In the URL bar, enter Chrome://flags

    3. Search for Samesite

    4. Disable the following: Samesite by default cookies and Cookies without SameSite must be secure (see photo example below).

    5. Click Relaunch and attempt to log in again

Google Chrome’s Cookie Settings (for Step #3)
Disable Samesite Cookies (for Step #7)

If the steps above do not help, please submit a request through Intercom on Groupdesk.io

What’s the difference between Karma and Groupdesk? #

Karma.io was an early version of Groupdesk developed specifically for a family of travel brands. As the travel technology grew and evolved, so did the product. Groupdesk became an independent company, began operating as a technology startup, gained new clients, and grew the team. Groupdesk is now the world’s best group travel management software for selling, managing, and growing your travel business.
