Access rights

An access right defines a schedule and tenant. You associate access rights with readers and personnel. They allow you to define and schedule what readers a person can use for entry and exit. Access rights provide information about where a person typically resides in a building. In Enterprise Security, an Access Right can have only one tenant, multiple tenants cannot be assigned to one Access Right. However, you can assign more than one Access Right to a single tenant. For example, you can assign the access right named "Employee Access" and the right named "Custodial Access" to a single tenant, as shown in the following image.

Access rights control access to a facility while sharing access to some of the same entry and exit locations.

Assigning an access right to a reader associates the schedule and tenant with the specific reader and door. Assigning the same access right to a person grants that person the right to enter or exit the tenant’s building using the reader and door identified by the access right, during the time granted by the schedule.

 NOTE: A person may have more than one access right assigned. Users do not have access rights – only Personnel are assigned access rights. 

Access rights control other system functions including threat levels and building controls.
