Programming Salto Space Mobile Credentials

Learn how to create mobile credentials in the Salto Space access system.

You can create mobile credentials that enable your mobile app users to unlock entrances in your Salto Space access system. For each Salto Space user, you can create a maximum of one key card credential and one mobile key credential. For more information about Seam mobile keys, see Mobile Access.

To use the Seam API to create mobile credentials for mobile app users in a Salto Space access system:

Create a user identity.
Seam user identities enable you to match your own mobile app users to access system users that you create using the Seam API.
Create an access system user on the Salto Space access system or assign an existing access system user to the user identity. The resources that you create for the access system user are available under the associated user identity.
Assign the access system user to one or more access groups.
- Each access group is preconfigured with the allowed entrances.
Create a credential to represent the mobile key.
- Specify the ID of the access system user.
- Set is_multi_phone_sync_credential to true.
- Set the access_method to mobile_key.

The following example walks you through this process:

Code:

# Get the access system.
building_a = seam.acs.systems.get(
  acs_system_id = "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
)

# Step 1:
# Create a user identity that corresponds to your user's mobile app account.
jane_user = seam.user_identities.create(
  full_name = "Jane Doe"
)

# Step 2:
# Create an access system user on the Salto Space access system.
access_system_user = seam.acs.users.create(
  user_identity_id = jane_user.user_identity_id,
  acs_system_id = building_a.acs_system_id,
  full_name = jane_user.full_name,
  phone_number = "+15555550100"
)

# Step 3:
# Add the access system user to all desired access groups.
access_group_ids = [
  "44444444-4444-4444-4444-333333333333",
  "44444444-4444-4444-4444-444444444444"
]
for access_group_id in seam_access_group_ids:
  seam.acs.users.add_to_access_group(
    acs_user_id = access_system_user.acs_user_id,
    acs_access_group_id = access_group_id
  )
  
# Step 4:
# Create a mobile key for the access system user.
mobile_key = seam.acs.credentials.create(
