1. A workspace personalization system, comprising:
(a) a local workspace access system associated with a local workspace, and configured to
(1) read badge data from a badge using a badge reader associated with the local workspace access system, and
(2) transmit the badge data;
(b) a workspace personalization management system configured to
(1) receive the badge data transmitted by the local workspace access system,
(2) locate, in data storage associated with the workspace personalization management system, an organization associated with the received badge data, and
(3) transmit the received badge data to the associated organization; and
(c) a server associated with the organization and configured to
(1) receive the badge data transmitted by the workspace personalization management system,
(2) locate, in data storage associated with the server, a member of the organization who is associated with the received badge data, a messaging service device associated with that member, and a workspace configuration associated with that member, and
(3) transmit the workspace configuration to the workspace personalization management system;
(d) the workspace personalization management system being further configured to
(1) transmit, in response to the workspace personalization management system receiving the workspace configuration associated with the member from the server, a keyable code over a messaging service network to the messaging service device of the member, and
(2) transmit the keyable code to the local workspace access system;
(e) the local workspace access system being further configured to
(1) receive member input of the keyable code that was transmitted over the messaging service network to the messaging service device of the member, the member input being inputted using a plurality of keys associated with the local workspace access system,
(2) verify that the member input matches the keyable code that was received from the workspace personalization management system, and
(3) in response to such verification,
(A) request, from the workspace personalization management system, the workspace configuration associated with the member,
