Access control for property management

A method operable in a cloud computing system, the method comprising:

• maintaining accounts for a plurality of access point management systems, wherein each account of the access point management systems identifies one or more access points associated with a property;
• maintaining a plurality of user datasets, wherein each user dataset includes user identifying information and user access information to one or more access points, and wherein the user access information includes lease information pertaining to a first access point of the access points available to a first user;
• processing a request for access to the first access point by the first user, the request including an imaging of a Quick Response (QR) code by a user equipment (UE) of the first user, the QR code being located and imaged at the first access point;
• accessing a database to identify the first user in response to the request and based on the user equipment (UE) of the first user via the user identifying information;
• identifying the first access point of the access points based on the QR code that is located and imaged at the first access point;
• retrieving the user access information;
• identifying access permission of the first user to the first access point;
• determining grantable access to the first user based on the access permission of the first user to the first access point;
• generating an access grant;
• and
• transferring the access grant to the first access point through a network interface;
• wherein the access grant is generated and transferred to the first access point in response to determining grantable access to the first user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed in a processor of a cloud computing system, direct the processor to:

• maintain accounts for a plurality of access point management systems, wherein each account of the access point management systems identifies one or more access points associated with a property;
• maintain a plurality of user datasets, wherein each user dataset includes user identifying information and user access information to one or more access points, and wherein the user access information includes lease information pertaining to a first access point of the access points available to a first user;
• process a request for access to the first access point by the first user, the request including an imaging of a Quick Response (QR) code by a user equipment (UE) of the first user, the QR code being located and imaged at the first access point;
• access a database to identify the first user in response to the request and based on the user equipment (UE) of the first user via the user identifying information;
• identify the first access point of the access points based on the QR code that is located and imaged at the first access point;
• retrieve the user access information;
• identify access permission of the first user to the first access point;
• determine grantable access to the first user based on the access permission of the first user to the first access point;
• generate an access grant;
• and
• transfer the access grant to the first access point through a network interface;
• wherein the access grant is generated and transferred to the first access point in response to determining grantable access to the first user.
