Getting Started 

By default, the Unikey Credentials feature is Disabled. Let’s walk through how to Enable Unikey functionality and how to invite a user to the MobileKey credential app. 
 

Start by navigating to the Admin app and select the lock the Unikey user should be assigned to. Once you’ve selected the lock and you’re on the lock’s detail page, click on the Settings icon on the bottom navigation bar. 
 

Go to Advanced Settings and there you will find the Unikey Credentials option to Enable.
