Add Access Groups in Visual Doors

Add Access Groups in Visual Doors

1.0 Introduction

Access groups combine time schedules and doors into a superset of information that is applied to cardholders – (determining when and where individual cardholders can gain access). Each door can be assigned a unique time schedule, or any number of doors can be assigned the same time schedule.

 

To be granted access to a secure door, a user must meet the criteria of the access group. The user must be at a door that accepts members of that access group and it must be during a time zone that allows that user access. Any changes to an access group will be immediately applied to all cardholders which are assigned that access group.

 

Note: When using PXL controllers only one access group can be assigned to a cardholder. Other controller types support multiple access groups.

  8. Place check marks in the doors (and their corresponding time schedules) for all the doors that will be part of this access group. For example; in the following screen caption all the selected doors will be using the Work Week time schedule. So any cardholder assigned this access group will only be able to use the selected doors during the work week hours.
  9. Any doors not selected will not be added to the access group.
  10. Once you have selected all the required doors the access group will be created, there is no need to save the access groups page.
