User levels to maximise control & flexibility
Knowio has been designed to give the right balance of permissions that allow for maximum control, restricting who can do what, without losing the flexibility that organisations require to get the efficiencies they are looking for.

Four user levels, and growing.
App Standard - typical employee that you would give a key to. They can open and close padlocks and gates, arm and disarm security systems, but nothing more. They may be responsible for gates being opened or closed so can see the status of sensors too.
App Manager - manages access, but cannot edit the site configuration. A manager can add and remove standard users, see logs, see users and can create rules, but cannot do anything regarding site configuration, except for adding new pieces of hardware.
App Admin - has total control over both users, site configuration and hardware/devices, being able to add and remove devices, change names etc.
Portal Admin - has full access to all sites within an account via our desktop portal control, with an ability to add and delete users, create and delete groups and in essence have total control over the portfolio of people and devices.

We needed a scalable, easy to manage access solution for our car parks and stock yards, where the authorised visitor list changes regularly. Knowio is a Godsend from an efficiency perspective.

An open gate is an open invite to criminals. Now we have real-time visibility on lots of critical gates that we previously could only know were closed by doing costly physical checks.

Mick Power

End user behaviour has shifted dramatically since I migrated to Knowio. All users are aware of the complete traceability. Incidents of the gate being left open has now fallen to practically zero.

Having the Knowio Anywhere Sensors on our gates has been like a dream come true

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Ask Questions
1. What is a smart padlock and how does it work?
A smart padlock is a Bluetooth-enabled lock that opens using the Knowio app or secure PIN codes. It works offline for unlocking, meaning no mobile reception is required. The padlock logs every unlock event in real time, uses a USB-C rechargeable battery, and is built with durable, weatherproof materials for outdoor use.
