# Proximity settings (guide for admin)

{% hint style="info" %}
Hideez Keys allows you to set up locking and unlocking your Workstation with the **Hideez Proximity Mechanism**. Your PC will be **locked** or **unlocked** when the Bluetooth signal level falls below the specified value in % and unlocked when the Bluetooth signal level exceeds the specified value in %. 
{% endhint %}

Those settings refer to configure:

* ## [Proximity Lock](/use-cases/hideez-key/lock-pc.md)

* ## [Proximity Unlock](/use-cases/hideez-key/lock-unlock-pc-by-proximity.md)

To configure Proximity lock and unlock settings, the Administrator needs to set up these parameters on the Hideez Enterprise Server. This is done through the sectionn [**Workstation Profiles**](/hideez-enterprise-server/workstations/workstation-profiles.md) on the Hideez Enterprise Server. Administrators should navigate to this section, where they can adjust the Proximity Lock and Unlock options based on specific Workstations.

The Admin has the option to create a new profile with the desired configuration and assign the relevant Workstations to that profile. Alternatively, they can edit existing Workstation profiles to update the settings.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can find out more information about [**Workstation Profiles here**](/hideez-enterprise-server/workstations/workstation-profiles.md)**.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When we add a new workstation it has a profile “Default”, that uses the following settings for proximity:

* **Enable Proximity Lock** (locking occurs when Bluetooth signal strength drops below 20-30%)
* **Enable Proximity Unlock** (unlocking occurs when Bluetooth signal strength exceeds 70-80%). 

**To enable Proximity Unlock, you must grant permission for this option to a specific Hideez Key on the Employee page in the section:** 

* [**Use Proximity Unlock Workstations.**](/hideez-enterprise-server/workstations/use-proximity-with-workstation.md)
