Lock user codes can be managed using the Alarm.com Website or mobile app.

It is recommended to only manage user codes remotely. It is not recommended to add new user codes locally at the lock. User codes added locally at the lock will not display User information in the Event History of your ADC account when that code is used. This may create conflicts with remotely created user codes.

  1. Log into the Alarm.com Website.
  2. Click Users .
  3. Click Add New User .
  4. Enter the user’s first and last name, then click Create .
  5. In Access Code , enter the desired user code.
    • A new access code can also be generated by clicking Generate Code .
  6. Click to select which devices and features the user will have access to.
  7. Click Save . Allow a few minutes for the system to update before testing the new user code.
  8. Click the Time to set which times the user code can access the system.
    • At all times - Allows the user to access the system at all times.
    • Restricted schedule - Create a weekly access schedule for certain times the user can access the system.
    • Temporary access - Create a one-time access window for the user to access the system.
