To accommodate seasonal cardholders, such as students who are enrolled during a
semester, or permanent cardholders who need short term access to a restricted area, you can
create and assign temporary access rules.
What you should know
A temporary access rule is an access rule that has
an activation and an expiration time. Temporary access rules are suited for situations
where permanent cardholders need to have temporary or seasonal access to restricted
areas. These access rules are automatically deleted seven days after they expire to
avoid cluttering the system.
NOTE:
From the Cardholder
management task, you can only assign a temporary access rule to one
cardholder at a time. To assign a temporary access rule to multiple cardholders or
cardholder groups, you must update the access rule properties from Config Tool.
For Security Desk
users to able to create temporary access rules, you need to grant them the Add access
rules privilege.
