Member entry management

New featureEnterprise only

Limit check-ins exclusively to visitors who are members, with the option to restrict access to one or more specific membership tiers.

Official Odoo 20 release note

In plain words

A new module, Frontdesk Partnership, adds a Type to each frontdesk: Guests (as before) or Members. A Members frontdesk lets contacts in by scanning their personal barcode, only if they have one of the chosen partner grades (membership tiers), with a passback timeout against reusing a badge.

Frontdesk > Stations > Frontdesk MembersThe station Type is Members, and entry is restricted to contacts with the Gold or Silver grade; leaving Grades empty admits all members.

Where to find it

  1. Install Partnership (Frontdesk Partnership installs automatically).
  2. Frontdesk > Stations, open Frontdesk Members.
  3. Set Type to Members and choose the Grades allowed in (here Gold and Silver).
  4. Click Open Kiosk: members check in by scanning their barcode.

For users

Frontdesk > station form: Type Members plus Grades; the kiosk then shows a barcode check-in for members.

For developers

frontdesk.frontdesk gets frontdesk_type (members / guests), required_grade_ids (res.partner.grade) and passback_timeout.
