KISI provides advanced access control through mobile access and keyless entry. By integrating KISI with OfficeRnD Flex, you can automate access for members, companies, and teams based on their memberships, bookings, and Day Passes.

This article shows you how to connect the integration, map OfficeRnD entities to KISI security groups, and manage door access effectively for both members and external users.

Keep in mind the following points about the KISI integration:

To activate the KISI integration in Flex:

Once connected, click Configure to open the KISI setup dialog. You'll find multiple tabs to map your OfficeRnD setup to KISI security groups.

On the Plans tab, you can map a Billing Plan in OfficeRnD to a security group in KISI. This tells OfficeRnD: “Every time someone is assigned this plan, grant them access to this security group.”

On the Locations tab, you can map Locations to Kisi groups. The member will get access to the mapped security groups:

To manage OfficeRnD Locations, go to Space > Locations.

Example: If the “London” location is mapped to “Main Building Group” and Joe is assigned to a desk in London, Joe receives access to all doors linked to that group.

On the Floors tab, you can map floors in OfficeRnD to security groups in KISI. This way, you can control access based on the floor where a member's desk or space is located. Assigning a membership to a desk on a certain floor will grant access to all mapped groups.

Example: If there's a location "London" and it's mapped to "General building access group," this means that if we assign a membership belonging to Joe to a desk on any floor in "London, " we will grant Joe access to "General building access group" in Kisi.

On the Offices tab, you can map OfficeRnD offices to KISI groups. The way this works is that if you assign a specific private office via membership to a member/company, they will be added to the access group defined in the mapping.

The Meeting Rooms tab allows you to map Meeting Rooms to Kisi groups. Settings here take effect whenever someone creates a booking for a mapped Meeting Room.

Example: John books the Elephant Meeting Room through the Member Portal (or an admin books a room on his behalf). When the booking approaches, John is granted access to the security groups mapped to that room. When the booking is over, John's access is revoked.

Inviting a guest to a booking will grant them door access if they are a member of your organization. Access will be granted according to the Meeting Room mappings configured in your door access integration.

Inviting a visitor will not grant them door access. Click on the links to learn how to add visitors оn the Admin Portal or оn the Member Portal.

The Day Passes tab allows you to define what access users with day passes will get. Every member or team with a Day Pass will get access to the security groups mapped in this tab. Access will be revoked once all Day Passes are used up or their validity ends.

The KISI Configuration tab allows you to set up whether you want automated emails to be sent to your members every time they're granted new access. If you grant your members access for meeting rooms just for bookings, for example, they'll receive an email every time that happens.

The options to choose from are:

After clicking Done, you are all set up to start using OfficeRnD and Kisi together. All the different configuration options provide great control over who has access to where. This means you don’t have to worry about adding or removing member access manually from a Kisi group anymore, as OfficeRnD will do that for you!

Sometimes you want to provide access to people outside the organization, such as cleaners, VIP guests, and so on. If you add these people to some of the groups managed by OfficeRnD, they will be removed right away (as described above).

That's why we recommend creating a new group (without a prefix) that grants the appropriate permissions, and adding the person there. As this group will not be included in the configuration of the integration in OfficeRnD, access won't be revoked.
