Access management and reporting technology

A system comprising one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, input representing a request to access an area;
• determining, whether the input matches an access code that was added to an access code database in response to an access management system i) receiving, from a device for a first user, an access management request to grant a second user access to the area and ii), in response to determining that the first user has permission to manage access to the area, granting the access management request and updating the access code database to include the access code that indicates that the second user has access to the area;
• and
• selectively providing or denying access to the area using a result of the determination whether the input matches the access code.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, input representing a request to access an area;
• determining, whether the input matches an access code a) from a plurality of access codes for the area and b) that was added to an access code database in response to an access management system i) determining that a first user, for which the access management system received, from a corresponding device, an access management request to grant a second user access to the area among a plurality of areas for which the access management system manages access, has permission to manage access to the area and ii), in response to determining that the first user has permission to manage access to the area, granting the access management request and updating the access code database to include the access code that indicates that the second user has access to the area;
• and
• selectively providing or denying access to the area using a result of the determination whether the input matches the access code.
