Manager dashboard permission problems

Troubleshooting / Accommodation Booking Manager Free

What to check if a user cannot access the Accommodation Manager Console.

The manager dashboard requires a logged-in user with the correct permissions.

If a user sees a permission message:

1. Confirm they are logged in.
2. Confirm they have the correct WordPress role or capabilities.
3. Test with an Administrator account.
4. Confirm the dashboard page uses [anabm_dashboard].
5. Confirm no membership/security plugin is blocking the page.
6. Clear cache after changing roles or permissions.

Admins can always use the WordPress admin Accommodation Manager menu. Property managers should use the front-end manager dashboard if the site is configured that way.
