Abstract
An access management and reporting system includes a keysafe that is located outside of a building and a communication system that is located within the building. The communication system is configured to perform, over a short-range wireless communication protocol, two-way communication with a communication module of the keysafe. The system also includes a server that is located remote from the building and the keysafe. The server is configured to perform, over a long-range communication protocol, two-way communication with the communication system located within the building, is configured to manage access to the keysafe, and is configured to handle reporting related to access of the keysafe.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user and by an access management server configured to manage access to each of a plurality of properties based on access data stored in at least one database, an access management request to grant a second user access to a property among the plurality of properties determining, based on an identity of the first user from which the access management request was received and for the property among the plurality of properties, that the first user has permission to manage access to the property;
- based on the determination that the first user has permission to manage access to the property, granting the access management request and updating the at least one database to add additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property;
- and
- based on the update to the at least one database to add the additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property, enabling the second user to access the property.
An access management server configured to manage access to each of a plurality of properties based on access data stored in at least one database, wherein the server is configured to:
- receive, from a first user, an access management request to grant a second user access to a property among the plurality of properties;
- determine, based on an identity of the first user from which the access management request was received, that the first user has permission to manage access to the property;
- based on the determination that the first user has permission to manage access to the property, grant the access management request and update the at least one database to add additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property;
- and
- based on the update to the at least one database to add the additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property, enable the second user to access the property.
An access management server configured to manage access to each of a plurality of properties based on access data stored in at least one database, wherein the server is configured to:
- receive, from a first user, an access management request to remove a second user from accessing a property among the plurality of properties;
- determine, based on an identity of the first user from which the access management request was received, that the first user has permission to manage access to the property;
- based on the determination that the first user has permission to manage access to the property, grant the access management request and update the at least one database to remove additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property;
- and
- based on the update to the at least one database to remove the additional access data that indicates that the second user has access to the property, deny the second user to access the property.
