Why your menu may look different
Not every Rytche user sees the same menu.
Your available features can depend on factors such as:
- Your user role
- Your permissions
- Whether you are currently inside an estate
- Your subscription or account status
- Whether a feature has been configured
- The current state of a property or tenancy
If a feature described in the Help Center is not available in your account, first confirm that you are using the correct role and are in the correct part of the Rytche application.
If you still cannot access the feature, see Troubleshooting Access.
