Before you can issue airport ID badge applications, you must first define the badge
types used at your airport.
What you should know
A badge type is a class of airport ID badges characterized by a
set of airport access levels, employee privileges, and a badge template.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
In the Plugins task, click Add an entity
(), and select
Badge type.
The badge type creation wizard opens.
-
In the Name field, enter the name of the badge type.
-
In the Airport access levels box, select the airport areas that
an employee with this type of badge can access without an escort.
The airport areas are:
- SIDA
- The Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) is defined in the
airport security program as any area that requires individuals to continuously display
the airport ID badge. Before allowing unescorted access to this area, a person must be
trained and their background investigated. The SIDA includes the secured area, the AOA,
and possibly other areas.
- AOA
- The Air Operations Area (AOA) is the portion of an airport designed
and used for landing, take off, surface maneuvering or parking of airplanes together
with all infield areas, runway protection zones, runway and taxiway safety areas, and
unobstructed areas as appropriate. This area does not include the secured
area.
- Sterile
- A sterile area is an area of the airport where
passengers boarding an aircraft must undergo screening of their person and property. It
is generally controlled by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and
supervised by aircraft operators or airline personnel.
- Secured
- A secured area is any area of an airport where
aircraft operators and airline personnel enplane and deplane passengers, sort and load
baggages, and any adjacent areas that are not separated by adequate security
measures.
- Public
- A public area is any area of an airport open to the
general public.
-
(Optional) Click Badge template and select the badge template
that should be used for badges of this type.
-
In the Airport employee privileges box, add the privileges that
can be granted to an airport employee holding this type of badge.
The employee privileges must be predefined in the
Properties page
of the
Airport Badging Solution plugin role.
NOTE: Airport employees can have less
privileges than the ones granted to their badge type, but not more.

Click Finish.
