Managing Credentials
Credentials can be created to be associated with areas, doors or sites in your system.
Credentials represent a form of identification. The most common form is the byte representation of raw card data, as scanned by a reader when swiping a card or entering a PIN.
A credential is unique and can only be associated with one user at a time. However, a user may have multiple credentials.
