Ring Video Doorbell
Control One Smart lock from two ring door bells
Hi, I am trying to find a doorbell solution for a house that is split into two flats. The flats share one communal entrance door so I am thinking about putting two ring doorbells at the door (one for each flat). I would put a yale smart lock to be controlled by z wave so the tenants can buzz in their guests. Would this system work ? Is it possible for the one lock to be controlled from two different ring accounts ? If not is there a work around to make this work? Any help is very much apreciated! Thanks Nick

Hi @nicks152. This might be possible by using [Shared Users](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005235186-Controlling-Ring-Devices-With-Users-and-Roles). Shared Users allow for the Owner of the Ring account to Share control/access to specific devices while still having ownership of the device. I would see if this could be a solution for you!

NHi Tom thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand though , surely you would have to have one doorbell for each flat ? Having shared users on a single doorbell would mean when someone rings the bell it will ring all users/flats right ? The only way I can see this working is if the bells can all control a single smart lock - is this possible ?

CHi @nicks152. I believe Tom was mentioning the Shared Users in regards to the smart lock. However, there's no simple way to make this configuration work as the smart locks work with the Ring Alarm system, which you can read more about [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016519732). This means you would need the Ring Alarm system to integrate the smart lock with, and then have the smart lock be shared to both tenants via the Shared User process that Tom shared.

I have the same question as nick. I have 2 unit house with a shared front door, 1 Ring doorbell and a ring camera over the garage. I also have Ring Alarm. Can I give my tenant access to ring so that she can answer the bell and open a smart lock, but not have access to the alarm which is only for my unit.

Searching through forums I cannot find anything about this which is surprising considering all the terraced houses in the UK split into 2-3 flats !
