Give users access across multiple projects

Every Mobile ID user can only be a member in 1 Mobile ID project. However, you can still grant users access across multiple projects. To do so, you can add keys from several projects to a reader's configuration.

Example 1: Main entrance of a multi-tenant building

An office building accommodates multiple tenants. Each tenant has their separate area, but all tenants need access to the main entrance.

  1. Create a Mobile ID project for each tenant.
  2. Create a configuration for each tenant and enter the Mobile ID key of that tenant.
  3. Create a configuration for the main entrance and enter the Mobile ID keys of all tenants — for example, if you have tenant 1, 2, and 3, enter all 3 keys.

Example 2: External users needing access to multiple buildings

External users, e.g. handymen or garbage collectors, need access to the main entrance of multiple office buildings with different tenants.

  1. Create a Mobile ID project for each tenant.
  2. Create a Mobile ID project for the external users.
  3. Create a configuration for each tenant's readers and enter the Mobile ID key of that tenant.
  4. For each building's main entrance, create a configuration and enter the Mobile ID keys of that building's tenants and the external users — for example, building A's main entrance gets building A's tenant keys and the external users' key.
