How to Add a Ban

Adding a ban to a guest’s profile in MyGuestBan is an essential step for maintaining security and compliance at your property. This guide will walk you through the steps for banning a guest, including identifying the offense type, uploading evidence, finalizing the ban, and what happens if the ban requires further approval.


Step-by-Step Guide: How to Add a Ban

1. Initiating the Process:

  • Navigate to the Guest Management page on myguestban.com.
  • Locate the guest you intend to ban by using the search function or scrolling through the list.
  • Once you’ve found the guest, select the Action Bar next to their name.

2. Adding the Ban:

  • In the action bar, click on the “Add Ban” option.
  • This will open a new section where you can input the details of the ban.

3. Identifying Offense Type and Severity:

  • Specify the type of offense and its severity:
    • Minor Offenses: These bans are restricted to your property, usually for offenses like policy non-compliance or obnoxious behavior.
    • Major Offenses: These bans are shared across multiple properties and are for more serious issues, such as fraud or illicit activities.
  • For major offenses, you will need to provide a police case number for verification.

4. Approval Process:

  • Depending on your user status, you may have the authority to approve the ban immediately. If you do not have approval rights:
    • Submit the ban for approval, and an email notification will be automatically sent to the manager and administrator for their approval.
  • Fill in all necessary information in the text fields to provide detailed reasoning for the ban.

5. Uploading Evidence:

  • If applicable, upload any supporting evidence such as images, documents, or reports. This is particularly important for major offenses.
  • Click the Upload button to attach the files.

6. Saving and Finalizing:

  • After entering all necessary details and uploading any relevant evidence, certify the accuracy of the information by checking the box next to “I certify the details are correct.”
  • Click “Save” to apply the ban to the guest’s profile.

7. Verifying the Ban:

  • To ensure the ban has been properly implemented, return to the Ban Section of the guest’s profile.
  • Here, you can review and, if necessary, approve the ban to finalize the process. If additional approval is required, the ban will remain pending until a manager or administrator approves it.

8. Post-Ban Confirmation:

  • Once the ban is applied and approved, return to the guest management section. The guest will now be marked as banned.
  • The banned guest will be restricted from checking in or engaging with your property until the ban is lifted or removed.

If a Ban Requires Approval:

  • Automatic Email Notification: If the ban is not immediately approved during submission, an email notification will be sent to the manager and administrator for approval.
  • The ban will be marked as pending until it has been reviewed and approved by the necessary parties.

Key Takeaways for Effective Guest Management:

  • Accuracy is Critical: Ensure all details, especially for major offenses, are accurate and supported with evidence.
  • Follow Protocols: Adhere to your property’s protocols, particularly around approval processes and evidence submission.
  • Documentation: Always upload relevant documents or evidence to support your decision for banning a guest.
