# Booking Travel for Coworkers

Engine supports company travel arranged on behalf of coworkers. Authorized account users can book for company members, while View Only Travelers can sign in and see trips booked for them without searching for, booking, or modifying travel themselves. Exact access depends on company role and department permissions.

Last updated September 17, 2026

## How it works

For documented hotel bookings, the booker selects an Engine member as the primary traveler. Companies can add employees as View Only Travelers when someone else should arrange their travel. View Only Travelers have their own login and can see trips booked for them, but cannot search for, book, or modify travel.

## Who it is for and how to use it

This capability is for companies where admins, department managers, coordinators, or other authorized bookers arrange travel for coworkers. Use a company member with standard Traveler access when that person can manage their own travel. Assign the View Only Traveler role when someone needs to see trips booked for them without self-booking or modification access. Exact permissions depend on role and company settings.
