Assign a credential from an event
For a supported unassigned physical card or fob, an access-log entry can help you associate the credential with an existing person.
- Have the person present the card at the appropriate lock.
- Open that device's access logs and find the attempt by time and credential information.
- If Add user is offered for that entry, select it.
- Choose the correct person and confirm the credential assignment.
- Review their access grants, then test during an allowed access window.
Not every unknown-user entry can be assigned this way. Mobile, wallet, and Aliro pass records are not ordinary unassigned physical cards; the action is hidden for excluded credential types.
Linking the credential to a person does not create missing door access. If the next attempt is denied, inspect the person's site membership, groups, grant schedule, and the lock's accepted credential settings.
