What is the Rhombus Key App?
Rhombus Key is a new application from Rhombus that turns your phone into a key, granting you access to your organization.
In the app, you can unlock doors remotely with a button or open a door you are in front of hands-free with Bluetooth enabled on your mobile device.
For more information, please visit the Rhombus Key App Walkthrough article.
Add a User to the Rhombus Key App
- Magic Link - Allows users to authenticate via a link sent to their email address; the link must be accessed from the phone that has the Rhombus Key App installed.
- SAML/SSO - Enabled in Settings > Single Sign-On; allows users to authenticate with their existing identify provider e.g., Okta.
Adding a New User
1. Navigate to "Settings" and click on "Manage Users." |
2. Click on "Add User." |
3. Enter the user's name and email and toggle on "Access Control - via card or mobile app." Click "Next."
|
4. We recommend that users are added to a group. This allows them to be automatically added to any access control grants that already include that group. Please see Creating a Group of Users for Access Control for more information. Click "Next." |
5. Toggle on any additional options for the user's access control settings. Click "Create." Note: To allow a user to unlock doors remotely, toggle on "Allow user to remotely unlock doors via the app." |
Updating an Existing User
Existing console users can be updated to include access control. Once their user profile has been updated by a Rhombus administrator in the console, they will need to complete the following to finish setting up the account:
- Download the Rhombus Key App to their mobile device.
- Log into the Key App by requesting a magic link after submitting their email address or using their existing password for their main Rhombus account.
1. Navigate to "Settings" and click on "Manage Users." |
2. Select the user you wish to add access control credentials to. Under the "Access Control" dropdown, select "Credentials." |
3. If using the Rhombus Key App, toggle on the "Allow authentication via Rhombus Key app" setting. "Allow remote unlock via Rhombus Key app" and "Bypass SAML when signing into Rhombus Key app" are both optional toggles. Note: Please reference the "User Management Method" in the Registering a Key Card (Access Control Credentials) article for information on how to add a card credential to an existing user. |
4. Ensure the user has downloaded the correct app. For additional information on the app, please visit the Rhombus Key App Walkthrough article. |
Add Multiple New Users
