# Dormakaba Community Setup Guide

To connect a Dormakaba Community system to Seam, the system administrator must perform a set of setup steps on the computer where the Community server is running.

The setup process has three parts:

1. [**Prepare Community**](#prepare-community-for-seam-integration) – Install the Seam Bridge, enable the Community API, turn on API authentication, and create a dedicated Operator Administrator account.
2. [**Enable Mobile Keys**](#enable-mobile-keys-in-community) – Work with Dormakaba Technical Support to purchase a mobile keys license and link your property to Seam’s LEGIC account.
3. [**Connect Community to Seam**](#connect-community-to-seam) – Use the Seam Connect Webview to pair the Seam Bridge, enter Operator Administrator login credentials, and establish the API connection.
