Online/offline usage of permissions

With KleverKey you are free to send your guests online or offline permissions. However, there are permissions that require an online usage.

 

Online Usage

When you are sending a permission with attribute "Online usage", the App will check the permission real-time with the KleverKey Cloud (while using the permission).

Therefore, the Smartphone will need internet connection during usage of a permission and a bit more time to process.

Certain permissions may force "Online usage", e.g. when the permission is time-related or limited. Those permissions will always check the expiration with our Cloud.

Remark: Permissions with "Online usage" requires Android V3.6 and iOS V3.0 or newer.

 

Offline Usage

If you are sending a permission without the "Online usage" attribute, the App will not explicitly check the permission at the time of its usage and thus, it can be used more flexible (e.g. in a cellar or in situations where no internet connection is possible).

Offline permissions can be used for Always permissions and will be processed faster than online permissions.

 

Revoking of online/offline permissions

 

When does the permission go away in the permission list after it was revoked?

That depends if the user, from whom the permission got revoked, still has an active KleverKey app. Active means the app is installed, the user is signed-in and the smartphone is online.

User has an active app

After the app has removed the permission as well - that usually happens in a couple of seconds when the user has allowed push notifications for the KleverKey app

User doesn't have an active app

After 3-4 days a clean up job removes all permissions that got revoked, but the app never acknowledged the revoking of those permission

 

When does the license count get updated after a permission was revoked?

That depends if the permission was offline or online and if the user still has an active app.
