Hosting team permissions
Hosting teams can work together without sharing the same account or private information. Each team member has their own Airbnb account settings and login, which they can adjust as needed, making it easier to keep everything moving. The account owner chooses who can join the team and which tools and features they can access.
Types of permissions
Account owner
The person who sets up a team becomes the account owner. They have a special set of permissions that can’t be changed, and they also own any listings team members create for the account. Only this person can:
- Access all permissions
- Edit business account details, taxpayer info, and payout preferences
- Deactivate the Airbnb account
- Deactivate the team
- View financial info such as the owner's taxpayer and payout details
- Create and manage Resolution Center claims for listings a team manages on behalf of another listing owner
- Revoke access to the listing any time (Note: It’s generally a good idea to let your team know before you do this)
Tasks
Task permissions are for service providers on a team like cleaners and maintenance workers. Team members with task permissions can:
- View tasks assigned to them and claim available tasks
- Mark tasks as started, in progress, and done
- View reservation details for tasks assigned to them
- Submit reports of broken or found items
Listing management
Pricing and availability settings fall under listing management. Team members with listing management permissions can:
- Create listings on behalf of the team owner

- Unlist, snooze, and deactivate listings
