Quick Access Links (Temporary Keys)

For security reasons, we only recommend using Quick Access Links (temporary keys) for short term access (e.g. guests). It is also advisable to always set up an expiry date.

The Quick Access Link option allows users to unlock doors in your place, without having to sign up for a Kisi account or download the mobile apps. When enabled, an Access Link will be emailed to the user and they will be able to open the link to unlock the doors they have been granted access to.

Enable Quick Access Link

Quick Access Link can be enabled for existing members, or configured at the time of adding new members.

To implement Link Access for new members:

5. Under Add Groups, select a group from the drop-down and then click on the group

Validity Dates

When you issue a Key, you will see an option to select validity dates. This means that you can choose when a user’s key becomes active and inactive. You can easily issue a key to someone for a month, a day, or even an hour. When the Validity Date period begins, your user can use his or her key to enter your space. The minute this period expires, your user’s access is automatically revoked.
