Access Grants

Early Access Preview. The Access Grants API is currently in Alpha. We're actively developing it and seeking early feedback at [email protected]. Expect breaking changes as we refine the design.

The access_grant Object

Represents an Access Grant. Access Grants enable you to grant a user identity access to spaces, entrances, and devices through one or more access methods, such as mobile keys, plastic cards, and PIN codes. You can create an Access Grant for an existing user identity, or you can create a new user identity while creating the new Access Grant.

An Access Grant resource.
