The Owner Portal is a real-time, two-way interaction between the Homeowner and the Property Manager.

The portal will enable a homeowner to view and update the property calendar and bookings, quotes, work orders, accounts, and inventory.

The portal is directly linked to CiiRUS. For example, when the Property Manager adds a reservation to a property, the owner portal and availability calendars are updated in real time. Same thing applies when a Homeowner adds or edits a reservation, CiiRUS is updated in real time.

Please note, not all features covered in this document will be available to every Homeowner. Permissions are given by the Property Manager in the main version of CiiRUS by going to Owners & Homes -> Manage Owners
