RCO M5 User API Integration

The RCO M5 User API enables direct, real-time interaction with the RCO access control system from end-user applications. Designed for use in tenant apps, member platforms, or visitor flows, the User API makes it possible to issue digital keys, unlock doors, and display access permissions through a user-friendly interface.

Unlike the M5 Admin API—which focuses on system-level configuration and management—the User API is all about interactive access control. It gives tenants, employees, and visitors the ability to interact with the building in real time, from their phone or browser. Whether you’re running a co-working space, apartment complex, or commercial building, the User API supports modern, keyless experiences.

To build reliable and secure user experiences with the RCO M5 User API, integrating it with your front-end software platform is key—and that’s where Inlet comes in.
