Enabling and Configuring Property Management
The Property Management feature streamlines network administration for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), hospitality environments, and other property-centric deployments, allowing you to manage network access and services at the unit or tenant level. It integrates with identity groups, resident portals, and communication workflows to support both resident and guest access.
Before enabling and configuring the Property Management feature
and adding Property Units, you must complete the following tasks:
- Create a Venue (refer to Adding a Venue)
- Create an Identity Group (refer to Adding an Identity Group)
-
On the navigation bar, select
Venues.
The Venues page is displayed.
-
Select the checkbox next to the
venue name in the Venue column and click Edit.
Alternatively, click the Venue name, then click Configure.
- Select the Property Management tab.
-
Toggle the Enable Property
Management switch on to enable Property Management. Switching
Property Management off deletes the related configuration and may cause clients
to lose network services.
Toggling the Enable Property Management switch on displays Property Management configuration fields.
-
Select the Identity
Group from the list in the Identity Group
field.
Note: The Identity Group cannot be changed once Property Management has been enabled.Note: Configure DPSK Service before selecting the Identity Group.
- Toggle the Enable Guest DPSK for Units switch on if you want the units to have a Guest DPSK assigned to them.

Select one of the following
options from the Resident Portal field:
- No Resident Portal: Select this option if you do not want to use the residence portal provided by RUCKUS One.
- Use RUCKUS Portal: Select this option if you want to develop your own custom portal using REST APIs. After you select this option, the Resident Portal profile field is displayed. In the Resident Portal profile field, select an existing Resident Portal profile from the list, or click Add Resident Portal to create a new Resident Portal profile. Refer to Creating a Resident Portal.
- Use Your Own Portal: Select this option if you want to use a portal. This option allows external systems to integrate seamlessly with RUCKUS One Property Management services through APIs. This feature is designed for tenants who prefer to utilize their existing portal infrastructure rather than adopting the provided portal solution. Refer to the Resident Portal Login API documentation (https://docs.ruckus.cloud/api/consolidatedApi.html#tag/Resident-Portal-Login-API) and the Resident Portal Unit API documentation (https://docs.ruckus.cloud/api/consolidatedApi.html#tag/Resident-Portal-Unit-API)
