Summary

Access Levels determine when and where a user is granted access within your Location/Areas. These levels define access to doors and/or floors and MUST be bound to schedules for time-based restrictions. Once created, Access Levels can be assigned directly to an Identity or indirectly via Cardholder Groups. This article provides instructions for creating Access Levels.
