Definition: What is an accreditation?
An accreditation is an access right granted to a participant for a check-in point, whether an entrance, a session, a product, or other.
It therefore also makes it possible to set registration quotas for your participants. To do this, you must create your check-in point and set a quota on it before granting access to the different categories linked to that quota.
You can grant these accreditations by:
At the individual level (via a participant's record),
At the registration category level (for all participants of the same type).
This allows precise control of visitor flows according to their profile.
Available accreditation statuses
Each accreditation can have one of the following statuses:
Status | Description |
Access denied | The participant will scan red and will not be granted access. |
One-time access | The participant can enter only once (e.g.: entry to the show). |
Unlimited access | The participant can pass as many times as desired. |
Limited number | A custom quota of entries is set (e.g.: 3 passes). |
Manage accreditations from a category
Go to Registration > Categories and click on the relevant category.
In the top right, click on Other settings > Manage accreditations.
A list of all your check-in points is displayed.
Choose, for each point :
the status (denied, one-time, unlimited, limited),
You can also apply changes in bulk to multiple points via multi-selection.
⚠️ If you assign a one-time access to a session, this effectively creates an indirect registration quota: once the accesses are consumed, the session is considered full for that person.
Manage accreditations from a session or a check-in point
You can also assign accreditations from the session or the check-in point, by directly targeting the authorized categories.
Go to the Program or Check-in Points tab.
Click on the check-in point then on actions
Check the categories that will have access to this point or session.

They also allow you to define registration quotas.
The available statuses cover all cases: denied, one-time, unlimited, or limited.
They are essential for configuring your badges, your check-ins and your access restrictions.
