We recommend learning Access Grants in three steps, from the simplest setup to the most advanced:

138138
1. **One device.** Connect a smart lock and create an Access Grant with a single `device_id` and a `code` access method. See [Creating an Access Grant Using Devices](creating-an-access-grant-using-devices.md).

2. **Multiple devices and spaces.** Pass several `device_ids` in one call to grant access to a set of locks at once. To manage groups of access points by name—for example, everything a guest in Unit 101 needs—organize them into [spaces](creating-an-access-grant-using-spaces.md) and grant access by `space_id`. Note that spaces are currently in Alpha.

3. **Access control systems.** Connect an ACS, such as Salto, Visionline, or Brivo, and grant access to entrances with `acs_entrance_ids`. This path can involve additional setup, such as licenses, on-premises connections through Seam Bridge, mobile key configuration, and [reservations](reservation-access-grants.md) for offline-override systems. See [Creating an Access Grant Using Entrances](creating-an-access-grant-using-entrances.md).
