Card Type Definition

A card type is used to group cardholders and can later be used to modify an existing card group or to create reports. It can also be used to restrict access to card information for a particular operator. For example, you can restrict an operator’s ability to issue or view a specific card group. For instance, if a card type is defined as “Administrators”, an operator who does not have the appropriate security level will not be able to issue, view, modify, delete, or print this type of card.

NOTE: The system is preset with five card types: administrator, employee, security, maintenance and visitor. A card type can be assigned to a card access group. This way, if a cardholder is issued a card type associated with a card access group, the access information of the card access group will automatically be transferred to the cardholder.
