1. Sign in to Kisi
2. Navigate to Places and select the place you want to adjust the reader for
3. Navigate to Hardware in the left-hand menu and select the Readers tab
4. Click on the reader you want to configure
5. Scroll down to Permissions and adjust them to fit your needs. Depending on which reader type you want to configure, use the tabs below.

Reader Pro 1

• Two-Factor Authentication: If enabled, users will be required to unlock their phones when tapping this Kisi Reader.
• Checkout reader: If enabled, this reader will be defined as a checkout reader. Any users tapping it will be considered as “checked out” and events such as “User has left this place” will be created. If you have capacity management enabled, this setting should also be enabled to increase occupancy precision.
• Enrollment mode: If enabled, this reader will be used to enroll legacy cards (unencrypted) to Kisi.

Reader Pro 2

• Two-Factor Authentication: If enabled, users will be required to unlock their phones when tapping this Kisi Reader.
• MotionSense: If enabled, iPhone users will be able to unlock the door by waving in front of the Kisi reader. This requires them to have the Kisi app installed and have their phone nearby. This setting cannot be combined with the 2FA restriction.
• Unlock buzzer: If enabled, the reader will play a sound after each unlock.
• Held open buzzer: If enabled, the reader will play a sound when the door is held open.
• Tamper detection: If enabled, an event will be created and the alarm will be triggered if the reader is removed from the wall.
• Checkout reader: If enabled, this reader will be defined as a checkout reader. Any users tapping it will be considered as “checked out” and events such as “User has left this place” will be created. If you have capacity management enabled, this setting should also be enabled to increase occupancy precision.
• Enrollment mode: If enabled, this reader will be used to enroll legacy cards (unencrypted) to Kisi.
