Before you begin

What you should know

To create sites in ClearID, you must be an account administrator.
  • An account administrator can choose the site owners and configure visitor management for the site.
  • A site is associated with a Security Center access control system.
  • Multiple sites can be associated with the same Security Center access control system.
