Creating and managing Access Codes for Alarm Users

Learn how to create and manage access codes for Ring Alarm users. As an Alarm owner, you can control who has access to your Alarm and what features they can use. An access code is a unique, four-digit number that lets users arm and disarm your Alarm using the Keypad.

Creating, changing, or resetting an access code

You can create up to 256 access codes for one Ring Alarm, including Owner, Shared User, Guest User, and Duress Codes.
