Add an Access Control user with access to multiple Enterprise locations

Access Control users can be added with access to multiple Enterprise locations using the Alarm.com customer website or Alarm.com app.

Note: If the ability to add Access Plans is not present on the enterprise security council and at least one single system with Access Control is present in the group, verify Access Plan User Management is enabled on every account. For more information see here. An Access Control account cannot be added to an enterprise group.

  2. Verify the Enterprise name is selected, not a location name. When the Enterprise group is selected, a Locations option shows in the menu instead of Home

Enterprise groups have Group property next to the Enterprise name, whereas locations will have icn-enterprise-open.svg for commercial accounts or Single property for residential accounts next to the location name.
