An ACS generally uses digital means of access to authorize an trying to get through a specific entrance. Examples of credentials include plastic key cards, mobile keys, biometric identifiers, and PIN codes. The electronic nature of these credentials, as well as the fact that access is centralized, enables both the rapid provisioning and rescinding of access and the ability to compile access audit logs.
This guide provides instructions for creating and deleting various types of credentials.
You can assign a credential to an ACS user when you create the credential. You can also . Further, you can without deleting the credential.
Create a Credential for an ACS User
code for a PIN code-based credential
card for a plastic key card-based credential
Depending on the ACS and the type of credential you are issuing, you can also specify the following properties for the new credential:
PIN code.
Start and end time frame for the validity of the credential.
Whether the credential is a multi-phone sync credential.
When creating a Seam mobile key, make sure to issue a multi-phone sync credential by setting is_multi_phone_sync_credential to true.
Manufacturer-specific data.
The response includes the acs_credential_id of the newly-created credential, the acs_user_id associated with the credential, and additional attributes of the credential.
To , provide the acs_user_id and the desired access_method. Seam supports the following access methods:
mobile_key for a .
Make sure to note any manufacturer-specific metadata and restrictions. For details, see the applicable .
If you are creating card-based credentials, and your ACS requires card encoding, see also .
To create a plastic key card-based credential, set the access_method to card. Once you've created a credential, some access control systems require you to encode the card with the credential. To learn whether your ACS requires card encoding, see the for your ACS. For card encoding instructions, see .
Depending on the ACS for which you want to create a credential, you may also need to include system-specific metadata. See the for your ACS. For more information about mobile access and issuing mobile credentials, see and .
