Smart PIERRE - Permission Management
Description
Permission management controls who may enter the property and when. Permissions are managed per user in the Smart PIERRE application.
Where to Find It
Menu → Settings → Users → select the user → Access. From there, access permissions can be viewed, added and removed.
Time Frames
Access can be granted as continuous, or limited to a defined period. A limited permission is defined by:
- Start date
- End date
- Specific days
- Designated hours
Time zones are taken into account, so the permission behaves correctly regardless of where the user is.
Typical Use
- Temporary access for a guest, valid only for the length of their stay.
- Recurring access for a cleaner, limited to specific days and hours.
- Revoking access for someone who is no longer authorised. The change takes effect immediately.
Technical Notes
- Prefer a time-limited permission over creating and later deleting a user. It is less work and leaves a cleaner history.
- Review the permission list at handover and remove any access created for commissioning.
- Check the time zone when the property and the person granting access are in different countries.
