Many people have been calling the Guards to add a Guest to their account.  So below is a review of the process to add a Guest, or Vendor, to your address.

The set-up is very easy:

1. FIRST — Stop at the Guard House and ask for your password.  They will verify your residence and ask your phone number then give you a code
2. Go to this link ——————- https://gateaccess.net/login.aspx
3. Enter Community Code ——–MAG   (listed in the drop down box)
4. Enter your user name    ——–Your Home Phone # No Dashes or spaces
5. Enter your password ———– Get this from the Guard
6. Once you are logged in ——–You can change password, change your access list, and manage your account
7. Click on the tab “GUEST LIST”
8. Click on button “ADD A NEW GUEST”
9. Enter the information requested.
10. Finish by clicking on “UPDATE”

If you leave the dates blank, then the guest is added as a ‘permanent’ person on the list.  If you only want to allow access for a short period of time then put in the date range for them to be on the list.  Understand that if you add in a range of dates, the person will not show on the list until the ‘start date’ has arrived – i.e. I add XYZ House Sitter for February 10 thru 15, XYZ will not show up on my list until 2/10, then they will automatically be removed at the end of the day on 2/15.  If just ordered Pizza Hut….just log in and add Pizza Hut to the list, start date (today’s date), end date (today’s date) – it is that easy.

The guards are not able to access your account.  The system is designed to recognize the name on the Driver’s License, or Company Name that is input.  It pulls up the account assigned with that name and then you are sent notification that your Guest has arrived.  Under “CONTACT INFO” you can add phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or cell phone text message numbers for the alerts.

This system was put in place to help the residents of Magnolia Pointe be informed as to who and when someone is accessing the neighborhood by using their name.  And remember that a valid Driver’s License is required to gain access by motor vehicle to Magnolia Pointe.  You control your account, only you (or those authorized by you) access it to add visitors or vendors.
