(Only visible to users with the Task privileges > Administration > Access control > General settings privilege) This section lists the settings found on the General settings page in the Access control task.

The General settings page in the Access control task lets you configure the general settings pertaining to access control, and to install and configure custom card formats.
Visitors
Cardholder groups can escort visitors
Turn this option on (default=on) to assign a cardholder group as a visitor host. Any of the cardholders that can escort visitors in the selected group can act as the visitor host.
Limit visitors for single host
Turn this option on (default=off) to set the threshold above which a second host must be added. There is no limit to the visitor number for two-host delegations.
Maximum visitors for single host
This option is enabled when Limit visitors for single host is on.
Miscellaneous
Trigger event ‘Entity is expiring soon’
Turn this option on (default=off) to have Security Center generate the Entity is expiring soon event n days before a cardholder or a credential expires, which can trigger an action to warn someone about the upcoming expiry.
Create incident before door state override
Turn this option on (default=off) to prompt the Security Desk user to report an incident every time they lock or unlock a door manually, or override the unlock schedule assigned to the door.
Maximum picture file size
Set the maximum file size (default=20 KB) for pictures (such as a cardholder picture) stored in the Directory database to save disk space.
Credentials
Card request reasons
Add reasons that users can choose from to explain why they are requesting a credential card to be printed (for example, no printer on site).
Custom card formats
