# Create Checkin

> Create a new Checkin record.

A **Checkin** records when a customer accessed a location. To check in, a customer must hold a valid pass (`TimePass` entity) that covers the location and the time of the check-in.

If the customer does not have a valid pass but the location or network has one or more **Pay As You Go** passes configured, a pass is automatically assigned and charged to the customer at check-in time.

Check-ins can be created manually, or opened and closed automatically by **NexIO** (the front-desk Nexudus tablet app), door-access systems, or IT-network integrations. The `Source` field indicates how the check-in was created.

## Authentication

<Note>
  This endpoint requires OAuth2 authentication. Include a valid bearer token in the `Authorization` header.
  The authenticated user must be a full unrestricted administrator or have the **`Checkin-Create`** role.
</Note>
