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).
Your administrator can follow these steps to add a new user:
Click on the hamburger nav (top right) to open up the side navigation
Click on Users in the purple sidebar that opens on the right
Click Create (top right)
In the Create User pop up modal
Add First Name
Add Middle Name (optional)
Add Last Name
Add Email
Assign that user a security role (see roles and permissions to determine correct role for new user)
Click Create
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:
Open the Contact Record
In the Contact Record Overview module, under Type
Click Type + and add Type Staff
Do a new User search for the contact email
Open the User Record
In the User Record Overview module, change the Security Role * to the desired role
Click Update
Suggestion: Limit Administrator users
Google Chrome
You may encounter display issues and slower performance if you use other browsers (Ie: Safari, Netscape)
Please try these steps before contacting Groupdesk:
Hard refresh your webpage
Use Google Chrome as your web browser
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
Make sure you are using the correct email for your Groupdesk login
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
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…
Ensure you have disabled Samesite by Default cookies
Open Chrome
In the URL bar, enter Chrome://flags
Search for Samesite
Disable the following: Samesite by default cookies and Cookies without SameSite must be secure (see photo example below).
Click Relaunch and attempt to log in again

Some transactions may take up to 24-48 hours to appear on a travelers booking record and/or My Profile, however, most transactions show up within a few moments. Your traveler should also get an email confirmation of their transaction.
If the traveler cannot see their transaction after 48 hours, please contact us via Intercom with the Booking Record and expected transaction details.
