On the Permanent keys tab, the administrator can track and manage permanent keys assigned to users for interaction with the current BLE device. The Permanent keys tab page presents a list of keys, associated users, and provides key management, search, and filtering tools.
The permanent key list is presented as a table with an overview of the main data on each key.
-
ID: unique system identifier of the record linking the user to the permanent key.
-
Name: name of the user associated with the permanent key. Selecting this field opens the user card.
-
Login: user login associated with the permanent key. Selecting this field opens the user card.
-
Key status: current state of the key. Possible states:
-
Active: the key is valid.
-
Inactive: the key is invalid and its expiration date has passed.
-
-
Issue date: date and time of key creation.
Each row ends with the vertical ellipsis icon to open the context menu for managing a specific key. Here, you can select:
-
Activate (for inactive keys)
-
Delete
For quick key search and management, the interface provides:
-
Column sorting
-
Search by username and login
-
Key filtering by status
Add a permanent key
Administrators can add a permanent key only for BLE devices linked to an access point.
To add keys, the administrator requires permissions from the following groups:
-
BLE devices: View BLE device list, View BLE device, View and manage BLE keys.
-
Billing users: View billing user list, Update billing user.
-
System users: View system user list, Update system user.
-
Platform tree: View and manage platform tree.
-
Access points: View access point list.
To add a permanent key, follow the steps:
-
Select Add permanent key.
-
This calls out the Login selection drop-down. The list displays system users, billing users, and subusers with the Active or Blocked status who currently have neither a permanent nor a temporary key for this BLE device.
-
Once users are selected, choose Add.
The maximum number of keys created simultaneously is 500.
The system then checks for available licenses with the BLE keys parameter:
-
The number of free licenses must match the number of selected users. If sufficient free licenses are available, the system adds keys for all specified users.
-
If the available license count is insufficient or the BLE key license limit is reached, the system aborts key creation and displays an error message.
Once a key is successfully issued, the system generates the Permanent key addition event in Devices > BLE devices > Added > BLE device card > User actions tab.
Activate a permanent key
The activation feature applies only to permanent keys with the Inactive status.
The manual activation feature allows renewal of a permanent key validity period and restores the Active status.
To activate a permanent key, select the vertical ellipsis icon to open the context menu in the inactive key row, select Activate, and confirm the action.
Upon successful activation:
-
The key receives the Active status.
-
The key validity period extends.
-
The system generates the Permanent key activation event in Devices > BLE devices > Added > BLE device card > User actions tab.
Delete a permanent key
To delete a permanent key, select the vertical ellipsis icon to open the context menu in the key row, select Delete, and confirm the action.
Upon permanent key deletion:
-
The license with the BLE keys parameter is released.
-
The permanent key is no longer associated with the user account. The BLE device no longer appears in the list of available devices in the mobile app.
-
The system generates the Permanent key deletion event in Devices > BLE devices > Added > BLE device card > User actions tab.
