Admin/Dealer - Managing Access Levels
We’re updating this article. Some screenshots or names may look older than what you see in the product.
An access level determines who has access to an area and when they have access to it. Access levels are created by combining door groups and schedules. Before an access level can be defined, schedules and door groups must be created.
A door group is a set of access points where entry is permitted. The schedule determines the time frame in which access will be granted. Access levels can be created by Dealers and Community Administrators only.
· Note: Access levels should be created prior to the addition of access devices.
