Add and manage Sub-accounts

As owner or administrator of the Nuki Web account you can create and manage different permission levels. If you want to authorize another person to manage your Nuki Web account, create a Sub-account.

Sub-accounts are instances of your main account. Every Sub-account can see all devices connected to the main account and the lock state of the devices. Other rights can be restricted.

To create a new Sub-account, select „Settings“ > „Rights management“ > „Add Nuki Web account“.

Here you can find an overview of the individual access rights with a detailed description:

All devices as well as the device state are visible to both the main account and all Sub-accounts. It is not possible to grant exclusive access to individual devices: The owner of a Sub-account can see all devices connected to the main Nuki Web account. Also, the main account sees all devices, even if they were added by a Sub-account.
