Account linking for Alexa Smart Properties residential devices

Property managers can help residents securely sign in to an Alexa-enabled device using the resident's personal Amazon account. While the resident is signed in, the device operates like a consumer device. For example, the resident can listen to their own music playlists or call their friends and family. The resident can also view, hear, or delete their voice recordings in the Alexa app or privacy settings. These voice recordings are not accessible to property management or staff.
