Creating New Staff Keys - dormakaba

This page and all others on the help site will be retired in Q4 2024. Please refer to the new help site by clicking the Help icon in the top-right corner of the STRATIS Management application.

Note: During the unit selection process, please select individual locks and not groups.

Select People.
Select View Staff Keys from the Staff toolbar.
Select +New Key. Choose your Staff member from the drop down list, and select Next.
Choose the areas you’d like your Staff key to access in the left menu, and select Next. When making this choice, remember to think about your VAP limits and setup.
Name the key something easily identifiable and unique, as no two Staff keys can have the same name. We recommend including the name of the owner and the key number. Keep in mind that this smart key will remain on your Staff key list even if you’ve removed access with the Return Key Unit. This is one of the limitations that our team is currently working to improve.
You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t recycle emails from old users to new users, and use personal email addresses rather than group email addresses. For example, johnsmith@stratis.com would be fine, whereas maintenence@stratis.com would not.
Your smart key will automatically be assigned an end date one year into the future from the date of creation. You can change this date if you wish. We recommend updating the timespan to somewhere between 24 and 48 hours.
Select Next. A confirmation window will appear to allow you to review the details of your smart key before inputting your password and encoding your smart key.
If all details are correct, input your password and select Confirm. Place the blank smart key on the encoder. If encoding is successful, you’ll see a message appear.
