AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management Access Management About Users In AXIS Entry Manager, users are people who have been registered as owners of one or more tokens (identification types). Each person must have a unique user profile to be granted access to doors in the access control system. The user profile consists of credentials that tell the system who the user is and when and how they are granted access to doors.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management 8. Add users to groups. For applied examples of this workflow, see Example Access Schedule Combinations on page 31. Create and Edit Access Schedules Access schedules are used to define general rules for when doors can and cannot be accessed. They are also used to define rules for when groups can and cannot access the doors in the system. For more information, see Access Schedule Types on page 25. To create a new access schedule: 1.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management cannot override that identification type schedule. However, if a group schedule is more restrictive about access than the identification type schedule, the group schedule overrides the identification type schedule. Identification type schedules and group schedules can be combined in several ways to achieve different results. For example access schedule combinations, see page 31.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management Create and Edit Groups Groups allow you to manage users and their access rights collectively and efficiently. A group consists of credentials that tell the system which users the group consists of and when and how the group members are granted access to the doors. Each user must belong to one or more groups. To add a user to a group, drag and drop the user to the desired group in the Groups list.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management If both identification types Card number only and PIN only are added, users can choose to either swipe their card or enter their pin to access the door. But if, instead, only the identification type Card number and PIN is added, users must both swipe their card and enter their PIN to access the door. 6. To define when the credentials are valid, drag a schedule to each identification type.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager Access Management 4. Select the Unlock state (unlocked or unlock both locks depending on whether the door has one or two locks). 5.
