# Create Temp Door Access Keys for Visitors and Couriers

Property Managers (PMs) can grant time-limited door access to visitors and couriers without creating permanent users. These keys can be created from the SmartPlus Cloud or the SmartPlus App and shared via email or other methods.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The temp key for couriers is a PIN code, and for visitors, it contains a QR code.
> 
> The following device models support opening the door via scanning a temp QR code:
> 
> - S539, S538, S535, X916, X915, X912, R29, E18, E16, and A05.

- Limited floor access is required.
- Simple credential configuration is sufficient.

Use **Visitor keys** when:

- Access to apartments is required.
- Multiple doors need to be accessed.
- Validity period or repeat access is required.
