Various Access Types
This article explains the different access types available in the Fluss system for controlling entry to doors, gates, or other secured areas via the Fluss+ app or devices. Each type defines how long access lasts, what permissions the user has (e.g., inviting others or managing settings), how the access can be revoked, and the level of trust assigned. The Owner has the highest privileges, while temporary options offer limited, time-bound entry for guests or visitors. Understanding these helps you manage sharing securely and efficiently.

Key Differences and Use Cases
- Owner: The primary device administrator with ultimate control, including transferring ownership or deleting the device. Ideal for property owners or main managers.
- Full Access: Grants complete admin-like rights (view logs, change settings, invite others) with permanent access. Use for trusted family members, partners, or long-term staff.
- Tenant: Permanent access with the ability to grant temporary access to visitors (duration set by device rules, e.g., 15 min to 3 days). Suitable for landlords or property managers sharing with residents.
- Always Access: Permanent entry without any additional permissions or invitation rights. Good for reliable household members or employees who need 24/7 access but no management capabilities.
- Repeat Access: Allows repeated entry (likely scheduled or recurring) without invitation rights. Useful for regular service providers or staff on a recurring basis.
- Temporary Access: Short-term, time-limited entry that auto-expires. Perfect for one-time visitors, delivery personnel, or guests.
Security & Best Practices
- Only assign Owner or Full Access to highly trusted individuals, as these levels allow significant control over the device and other users.
- Use Tenant access for shared properties to let residents manage short-term guests without risking full system changes.
- Prefer Temporary or Time-limited access for visitors to minimize security risks—access expires automatically, reducing forgotten permissions.
- Regularly review who has access via the app (logs and user lists) and revoke unnecessary permissions promptly, especially for ex-residents or former staff.
- Avoid sharing Owner-level access; transfer ownership only when necessary (e.g., selling property) and confirm the new owner first.
