Keep control of a shared estate entrance while giving tenants responsibility for approved staff changes. A practical guide to permissions and handovers.
The estate office should not be the staff directory
A shared entrance serves several businesses, but the people using it do not all work for the estate manager. A new starter at one unit, a departing driver at another and a replacement remote at a third can all become jobs for the same office. The difficulty is the division of responsibility, not simply how the gate opens.
Start by recording who approves access for each tenant, which entrances they use and who handles leavers. Separate those decisions from the technical task of adding the permission. That gives you a usable process before you choose a new system.
Delegate within a boundary
digiGate supports private groups with delegated administrators. A business can manage its own people within the agreed site permissions, while the estate retains overall control.
Use named, individually authenticated app accounts rather than one account shared by a whole company. Device-linked access and prompt revocation help administration while proximity restrictions can be assessed for app requests where off-site opening is a concern.
Make the handover part of the lease workflow
Agree an authorised contact at each tenant and a backup. At move-in, approve the group, user list and access windows. At a change of tenant, review the whole group rather than relying on a box of returned remotes. Enterprise reporting and dormant-user review can help the estate find permissions that need attention.
For multiple estates, keep the architecture clear: each digiGate site has its own hub, login and dashboard. Delegation within an estate does not create a portfolio-wide dashboard. A video survey and live demo let you test the responsibilities before committing to installation.
