to let themselves into the building. This code can be changed by management or the resident
themselves.
• Allow Residents to Modify their Access Code
oIf enabled, residents will be able to modify their own access code.

text, temporary QR Codes that they can use at appropriate door stations to grant themselves
access to the building.
• Maximum Access Duration
oSpecify how long temporary Visitor QR Access Codes can last in order to avoid abuse by residents.

terminology used is adapted to each particular installation.
