Managing guest check-ins efficiently is crucial for keeping lines short and entry moving. Posh provides two distinct methods for setting up your door staff with our high-speed mobile ticket scanner.
Option A: Use a Scanner PIN (No Login Required)
This is the fastest, most secure method for temporary event staff, hired bouncers, or venue volunteers. It grants immediate ticket-scanning capabilities on their personal mobile devices without forcing them to create an account or exposing your internal financial dashboard metrics.
Step 1: Generate the PIN (Organizer Dashboard)
Log into your Posh browser dashboard and select your active event tile.
Click the Team & Tracking tab on the top navigation menu bar.
Scroll down to the Scanner pins workspace layout.
Click the + Add Ticket Scanner Pin button.
Copy the unique PIN numeric code and its matching Secret key badge generated by the system to distribute to your door crew.
💡 Operational Pro-Tip: You do not need to create individual codes for each staff member. Your entire team can use the exact same PIN simultaneously to log into the gate system across multiple devices. You can delete the PIN from your dashboard at any time to instantly kill active scanner access.
Step 2: Accessing the Scanner (Staff Frontend)
Instruct your staff to download and open the Posh app on their mobile devices.
On the main app login workspace, tap the QR Code icon in the top-right corner.
Type or paste the unique Scanner PIN you provided.
Review the running Event Overview summary stats page, then tap Scan Tickets to activate the camera and begin checking in guests.
Option B: Invite a Staff Member as a Doorperson (Login Required)
This approach is best for core company staff, recurring venue managers, or trusted team members who already have an active profile on your permanent team workspace.
Step 1: Assign the Role (Organizer Dashboard)
Navigate to your event's Team & Tracking tab or global organizational settings page.
Follow the standard steps to add a team member, and ensure you explicitly assign them the Doorperson role from the permission options dropdown.
Step 2: Log In & Scan (Staff Frontend)
Have your staff member open the native Posh app and log in securely using their personal phone number or verified account email.
Select your event tile under their active assignments dashboard grid.
Tap the Scan Tickets interface module automatically exposed on their app dashboard screen to launch the ticket scanner camera.
