# SmartAccess

## Introduction

The SmartAccess system is a powerful way to allow different users to see different content when scanning the same NFC tag. 

For example, authorised users might be presented with a page containing product information, service history or similar. Regular users might see your marketing page from your website. 

SmartAccess is a registration free system and is designed for store, warehouse or supply chain users who need to access product information on NFC tags that shouldn't be available via non-authorised scans. 

SmartAccess uses the Rules system to control what Response is provided. 

SmartAccess is an option Module that can be activated via *<mark style="color:orange;">Main Menu > Admin > Plan Details</mark>*.&#x20;

## Setting up SmartAccess

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a SmartAccess Group

*<mark style="color:orange;">Main Menu > Management > SmartAccess > Groups</mark>*

SmartAccess Cards are organised into Groups. You need at least one Group.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a SmartAccess Card

*<mark style="color:orange;">Main Menu > Management > SmartAccess > Cards</mark>*

Create a SmartAccess Card within your Group.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Encode your SmartAccess Card

SmartAccess uses NTAG424 authentication grade NFC tags to ensure a high level of protection and security. Your NFC tag doesn't need to be a 'card' but can be any type of NFC tag. We refer to it as a 'card' for the purposes of illustration.&#x20;

You can encode your SmartAccess Card using the ixkio mobile app.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Setup Rules

At the Tag Group level or the Tag Code level, you [create a Rule](https://docs.ixkio.com/features/rules/creating-a-rule) so that users that have scanned the SmartAccess Card can view different content - either by Redirect or Direct Response.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### User Scans SmartAccess Card

User can then scan the SmartAccess Card to 'authorise' that smartphone. (The length of time of authorisation can be set by you).&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Use Scans NFC Tag

Now when the User scans an NFC Tag within that Tag Group, the Rules system can Redirect or show an alternative Direct Response template.&#x20;
