How SALTO KS integration works
User synchronization to SALTO KS
The users qualifying for access are auto-registered in your SALTO KS dashboard. The following information is synchronized:
Full Name as an alias
Email
Access for subscriptions
Users who are new to SALTO KS will receive an email invitation from the platform to create their account. However, existing users who have already set up their SALTO KS account will not receive the account setup email.
When a user subscribes (either manually or through self-sign-up), they will be added to a specific access group for as long as their subscription is active. If a subscription is created for a company, all users in the company will be invited to use SALTO KS. If a user's or company's subscription is canceled or expires, their access to SALTO KS will be automatically revoked.
Access for rooms and desks
Members and nonmembers who book a room or desk will have access to the predetermined access group for the duration of the booking. Additionally, room booking invitees will also be granted access.
Users will have a 10-minute grace period before and after the booking time.
