Can I manually sign on a visitor?

Visitors cannot be manually signed on via the Admin app, but there is a simple workaround.

At this time, BuildPass does not support manually signing on visitors through the Admin app.

However, visitors can still complete sign-on themselves using a QR code link, even if they:

  • Don’t have a smartphone

  • Are experiencing device issues

  • Need to use someone else’s device


Workaround: Sign on a Visitor Using the QR Code Link

The visitor can complete sign-on from any device (phone, tablet, or computer) as long as they can access their mobile number.

Step 1: Open the QR Code Link

  • Open the site’s QR code link in a web browser

  • Using an incognito/private browsing window is recommended


Step 2: Enter the Visitor’s Mobile Number

  • Input the visitor’s mobile phone number


Step 3: Verify the Visitor

  • A verification code will be sent via SMS

  • Enter the code to verify their identity


Step 4: Complete Visitor Sign-On

  • Continue through the visitor sign-on process as normal


This workaround is useful when a visitor doesn’t have access to their own device or is unable to scan the QR code directly.
