What you should know
You can assign access rules while you are creating cardholders, or after they are
created. In this procedure, it is assumed you have already created a cardholder.
BEST PRACTICE: Assign access rules to cardholder groups, rather than to individual
cardholders. Assign access rules to individual cardholders only as a temporary measure. When
used too often, the access control system can quickly become unmanageable. If you need to
grant temporary or short term access to a cardholder, create a temporary access rule.
To assign access rules to a cardholder:
In the Cardholder management task, select a cardholder, and then
click Modify ().
Click the Access rules () tab > Add ().
A dialog box listing the access rules that are not yet assigned to this
cardholder opens.
The schedule that applies to the access rule is shown in a grid on the right.
Each time block represents 30 minutes. Green areas indicate periods when access is granted
by the rule. Red areas indicate periods when access is denied by the rule. Grey areas are
times not specified by the schedule; therefore, access is denied. If it is a temporary
access rule (), the activation and
expiration times are indicated. Areas, doors, and elevators that the rule is associated
with are listed at the bottom.
To view a partial (hatched) time block in minutes, click and hold the left mouse
