Access Groups is a powerful and efficient cardholder management tool which divides cardholders into groups depending on criteria and determines access privileges. Group information can include:
• Where and when the group has access
• A list of members of the group
• Personal data fields for group members
• Whether group members are allowed to act as escorts for visitors
• Authorisation to arm and disarm alarm zones
• Whether group members can change the state of access zones.
Access groups are displayed as a tree, branches having more specific access. A cardholder may belong to one or more access groups to have full access privileges.
For example, there could be an ‘All Cardholders’ group for commonly required access – the entrance, cafeteria etc – but a cardholder has more specific access by being a member of another group such as ‘Head Office Managers’. Bulk changes can be easily applied to all members of a group.
