To accommodate seasonal cardholders, you can create and assign temporary access rules.
Temporary access rules are useful for cardholders such as students who are enrolled during a
semester or permanent cardholders who need short-term access to a restricted area.
What you should know
A temporary access rule includes both an activation
time and an expiration time. The system automatically deletes temporary access rules
seven days after they expire to keep the system organized. By default, access rules
are configured to grant cardholder access. Use explicit deny schedules only for exceptions.
For more information, see
Creating access rules.
NOTE:
Assign a temporary access rule to
one cardholder at a time from the Cardholder management task. To
assign a temporary access rule to multiple cardholders or cardholder groups, update the
access rule properties in Config Tool.
For Security Desk users to be able to create temporary access
rules, you need to grant them the Add access rules privilege.
