Several collaborators or volunteers will be required to help you manage entry control.

On your event dashboard, you can create a team and assign roles to your collaborators. Generally, they will be “controllers.” You will generate identifiers for them and they will only have access to the lists of participants. In addition, you can divide the types of e-tickets to be validated for each of them.

Finally, your employees can download our application and access it via the identifiers that you have provided them in advance.
