You can configure the activation and expiration of cardholders and visitors to follow a specific time zone by using a custom field. This can be configured in the Cardholder management, Visitor management, and Access control tasks, and viewed in the Credential management task.
Configured time zones are not taken into consideration for values imported through the
Import tool, created through SDK macros, or synchronized from Active Directory roles because
the activation and expiration times are saved in the database in UTC.
Requirements
The minimum required Security Center version to use cardholder and visitor time zones is 5.10.3.0. All your client workstations must meet this requirement.About time zones for credentials
- Credentials inherit the time zone of the cardholder or visitor that the credentials are assigned to. The activation and expiration dates of unassigned credentials are based on the local time zone on the client workstation.
- When assigning and re-assigning credentials, their activation and expiration might not get updated to follow the time zone of the cardholder or visitor time zone. You must validate that the activation and expiration values are correct.
