Shared Use is perfect for environments where multiple users need temporary access. A user creates a code at the time of use, and once unlocked the enclosure is available for another user.

Assigned Use is ideal for personal or dedicated access, where a specific individual or group is given a unique code to open a designated enclosure. In this mode, the enclosure remains locked until the assigned user unlocks it using their code.
