Authentication Methods

• API key

• Personal access token Must also include the seam-workspace header in the request.

To learn more, see Authentication.

Request Parameters

access_method String (Required)

Access method for the new credential. Supported values: code, card, mobile_key.

---

acs_system_id String

ID of the access system to which the new credential belongs. You must provide either acs_user_id or the combination of user_identity_id and acs_system_id.

---

acs_user_id String

ID of the access system user to whom the new credential belongs. You must provide either acs_user_id or the combination of user_identity_id and acs_system_id.

---

allowed_acs_entrance_ids Array of UUIDs

Set of IDs of the entrances for which the new credential grants access.

---

assa_abloy_vostio_metadata Object

Vostio-specific metadata for the new credential.

auto_join Boolean

---

join_all_guest_acs_entrances Boolean

---

override_all_guest_acs_entrances Boolean

---

override_guest_acs_entrance_ids List

---

code String

Access (PIN) code for the new credential. There may be manufacturer-specific code restrictions. For details, see the applicable device or system integration guide.

---

credential_manager_acs_system_id String

ACS system ID of the credential manager for the new credential.

---

ends_at String

Date and time at which the validity of the new credential ends, in ISO 8601 format. Must be a time in the future and after starts_at.

---

is_multi_phone_sync_credential Boolean

Indicates whether the new credential is a multi-phone sync credential.

---

salto_space_metadata Object

Salto Space-specific metadata for the new credential.

assign_new_key Boolean

Indicates whether to assign a first, new card to a user. See also Programming Salto Space Card-based Credentials.

---

starts_at String

Date and time at which the validity of the new credential starts, in ISO 8601 format.

---

user_identity_id String

ID of the user identity to whom the new credential belongs. You must provide either acs_user_id or the combination of user_identity_id and acs_system_id. If the access system contains a user with the same email_address or phone_number as the user identity that you specify, they are linked, and the credential belongs to the access system user. If the access system does not have a corresponding user, one is created.

---

visionline_metadata Object

Visionline-specific metadata for the new credential.
