Assign a PIN to open PIN-enabled locks

How can site admins assign a PIN for users to open PIN locks?

Site admins can assign, re-assign, or block users' PINs via the Salto KS web app by navigating to the user profile from the People page and selecting the Keys tab. If your site has PIN-enabled hardware, the option will be visible, and the PIN code will be generated, which admins can either copy or share directly with users.
