# Visitors in Rekkeh: Lifecycle, Passes, and Management

> Learn what a visitor is in Rekkeh, the full visitor lifecycle from invite to exit, how passes work, and where to manage visitors in the admin console.

A visitor in Rekkeh is anyone who enters your facility but is not a registered resident or permanent member. They arrive with an invitation, receive a time-bound access pass, and are tracked from entry to exit.

The visitor lifecycle moves through seven statuses:

| Status   | Meaning                                         |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Upcoming | Invited but not yet arrived                     |
| At Gate  | Currently being verified at the entrance        |
| Inside   | Checked in and on the premises                  |
| Exited   | Checked out and no longer on site               |
| Denied   | Entry was refused at the gate                   |
| Expired  | The pass validity window has closed             |
| Revoked  | A manager or host cancelled the pass before use |

Inviting a visitor starts in the Admin Console or the Member App. You enter the visitor's name, contact details, purpose, date, and time. Rekkeh generates a unique QR pass and sends it to the visitor.

At the gate, the officer scans the QR code or looks up the visitor manually. A successful check-in updates the visitor status to Inside and notifies the host. If the visitor leaves without checking out, the status remains Inside until an officer performs a manual exit or the pass expires.

You can revoke a pass at any time from the Visitor Oversight page. Once revoked, the pass becomes invalid immediately and any attempt to use it results in a denied entry with an auditable reason.
