This guide will cover how to create a user with panel and Z-Wave Lock access in Alarm.com as well as set the user up for notifications.
Note that in Alarm.com, a Login and a User are two separate things. Users are for access to the alarm system as well as recipients for notifications. Logins are for access to the Alarm.com account. You can find a similar guide on How to Create a Login here.

Start off by navigating to the Users tab in Alarm.com
-
Click the Add New User button

Enter the Users First and Last name then click Create
-
From the next page you can:
- Give the User an Access Code for Panel and Lock access

It will take 5 to 10 minutes for the user codes to be sent to the panel.
