Roles and Credit Card Viewing  Permission

Role Permission
Property Owner

Has permission to view credit card details by default. They only need to set up a credit card viewing password.

Organization (Association) Owner, Organization Admin, Organization User / Multi-property user

Must be granted permission to view credit card details by the Property Owner of each account in the organization SEPARATELY and must set up a credit card viewing password for each property account.

Other Users Must be granted permission to view credit card details by the Property Owner and must set up a credit card viewing password for the property account.

Organization Owner/Admin/User: The property owner of each separate account in a group has to grant the credit card viewing permission to each organization user SEPARATELY (Property Owner of account A should login and grant permission to Organization User; then property owner of account B should login and grant permission to the same Organization User, etc).
If there are 5 properties in the Organization, the Organization User would need to set up a different credit card password for all 5 properties.
