Preparing a temporary access card
We can grant other people temporary access to the space using non-member access cards in Hula. Changes in Hula must be made by Hula admins, however regular members can take care of the remaining steps.
This feature IS NOT meant for member cards.
The high-level steps are as follows:
This is approved on a “reasonable need/consensus” basis. Examples include:
Known “friend of the space” (e.g. Skankin) borrows equipment from us
Organizers of events/collabs being held at Hackeriet
Discussion in Signal ends up concluding that someone might have a need for a card
Existing cards
We have a few cards already set aside from this purpose:
When not in use, these cards are stored in the box marked “Brukt” in the Hackeriet safe.
Making a new card
Pick a brand new card from the safe
Mark the card in a reasonable fashion to make it unique, e.g.
Stickers
Dymo labels
Hackeriet logo (for good measure)
Visit the “create a card” page in Hula:

Update the card in Hula
Fill in name and phone number for the person being lent to. Groups/entities may be identified by a common name, but a phone number must be written down
Set the start/end dates to an appropriate time frame
Mark the card as enabled
Add the circumstances for the card being loaned out into the “additional notes” field
Test the card by the door and ensure it scans properly (assuming its validity period has started).
The card can now be handed over to the lendee.
Returning a card
When we receive cards back, mark them as disabled in Hula and put them back as described in “existing cards”.
Fill the following information in for the card
Put “Hackeriet Safe” in the name and cellphone field of the card
Disable the card
Set both start and expiry to “now” (if not already filled out)
