An activity explains an event. For example, the system may grant access while an additional condition is required. Or the system may deny access for a reason. The activity value identifies the reason.
| Activity value | Description |
|---|---|
| Granted | Normal access event. |
| Badge Does Not Exist | Access denied because the system cannot find the badge in the database. |
| Badge is Lost | Access denied because the badge has been disabled. |
| Badge is Disabled | Access denied because the badge is not active. Badges can be disabled usually by a manager using the Supervisor station. |
| Badge Not Assigned | Access denied because the badge exists, but has not yet been assigned to a person. |
| No Active Schedule | Access denied for lack of a schedule. |
| No Access Right | Access denied because the person lacks the right to access the location. |
| Unknown Wiegand Format | Access denied because the format of the badge does not conform to a known Wiegand format. |
| Invalid PIN | Access denied because the person entered a Personal ID Number that does not match the badge. |
| No PIN Number Entered | Access denied because the person did not submit a PIN. |
| Access Zone Disabled | Access denied because the access zone is not active. |
| Occupancy Violation | Access denied because more or fewer people are in the zone than required. |
| Supervisor Required | Access denied because supervisor is required and none is currently in the access zone. |

|
| Granted But Not Used | Access granted, but the person did not enter. |
| Granted But PIN Duress | Access granted, but there is a problem with either the badge or the PIN.
If PIN duress is set up in the controller, then, when a person uses a PIN with the offset specified in the controller, the system grants access but issues a duress alert. This allows a person to enter a space under duress, but causes an alert. |
| Granted But Anti Passback Violation | Access permitted, but the person is attempting to enter again (pass back) before the Passback Timeout expired.
|

| Granted If Occupancy Corrected | Access permitted pending changes to overall occupancy. |
