For example, Archiver roles manage video units and cameras, while Access Manager roles manage access control units and zones, but not doors or elevators.
   • Use the Controlled by filter to narrow your search to access points managed by the system. This includes doors, elevators, and zones that are actively used in your system. You can filter them by Access Manager roles, access control units, or interface modules. Currently, this filter only applies for access control entities.
