Create a New Access Group 

 


  1. Create a Schedule or Use an Existing Schedule for an Access Rule. 

  1. (I try to re-use as many time-based schedules as you can. As this could get very confusing and large) – You can make several access rules based on one schedule.

Click New > Access Rule (You can name it here, I suggest “School Initials – What its fortime ) – Don’t forget to set the Partition to the Correct School, or the people at the school will not be able to see it or use it)

At the bottom, click Add an entity > Cardholder Group (you may also use an existing cardholder group) – Label this well, as it will be hard to locate when adding these groups to the cardholder.

Now that you have set an access rule to a cardholder group (or single cardholder) 

You will need to apply it to the door(s) or areas you wish this group to have access to. 

 

Goto Area View > And find the Door or Area you wish for the rules to apply to.

Make sure you remove the “All Open Rule” if there is one. This is applied by default when adding doors.
