How to Set up and Manage Additional Users to Your Account
Even if you live alone, there is likely someone you trust enough to give the keys to your home once in a while. Letting your child, spouse, babysitter or parent arm and disarm your security system can simplify visits, work and life in general. What if you could simply give or take away access to your home security system from your computer or smartphone?
Here at AAA Smart Home, we like to make things reliable and user-friendly. So, we’ve put together a video and guide to set up and manage new and temporary users. In this video, we’ll go over how to add, edit, or delete users, as well as manage their access. Plus, you can select whether they should be able to access your system all the time, sometimes, or for a brief period.
Additional users and their access can be added and edited using the AAA Smart Home website or mobile app. Ready to get started? Watch the video, or use the step-by-step guide below. Pro-Tip: The security system must be disarmed to add or update user codes.
To add or edit secondary user information using the Customer Website
- Click the user's current name.
- Enter the desired first and last name.

- Click Save. Allow a few minutes for the changes to apply to the devices.
- Click Time.

(Pro-Tip: HTML will have images and formatted text, whereas plain text will just have, well, plain text. It's a little more reliable for most email providers, and always a safe bet.)
