Cardholder Access Levels Assignation
|
An access
level must be assigned to each card. Access levels determine where and
when the card will be valid. The access level allows the cardholder entry
to selected locations during specified schedules. For information on defining
access levels, see Access
Levels Definition.
Note:
When
you
modify the access level assigned to a card, you also modify the user’s
access permission to the doors and schedules associated to that access
level.
In
order to assign an access level to a card, you have to:
•
Create
schedules that will correspond to the time the user has access to the
desired doors,
•
Assign
the created schedule to the desired doors (in the Access level definition
menu),
•
Assign
the access level to cards.
