Seats and access: Creator vs Viewer

The two Insights seat types, what each can do, and how to add seats.

Insights uses two seat types: Creator Seats and Viewer Seats.

Creator Seat

Creator Seats can use every part of Insights:

  • View every dashboard

  • Build custom dashboards with the drag-and-drop builder

  • Use the Insights Agent

  • Save Insights Agent answers as dashboard tiles

  • Configure scheduled delivery (Email, SFTP, Webhooks) and alerts

Typically held by whoever owns reporting in the group — for example a Commercial Director, Marketing Manager, or Revenue Manager.

Viewer Seat

Viewer Seats are read-only:

  • View dashboards and tiles shared with them

  • Receive scheduled reports

Viewer Seats cannot build custom dashboards, use the Insights Agent, or configure exports and alerts.

Typically held by General Managers, property leads, and other stakeholders who read reports but do not build them.

Adding seats

We recommend that every account holds at least one Creator Seat. Creator Seats let teams query account data and share it with Viewer Seats, which makes them valuable for the whole team.

Seats are added through your commercial contact at Bookboost. See Pricing and billing for Insights for the per-seat cost.
