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.

Procedure

  1. In the Cardholder management task, select a cardholder, and then click Modify ().
  2. Click the Access rules () tab > Add ().
    A dialog box listing the access rules that are not yet assigned to this cardholder opens.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Select an existing temporary access rule () and click Add.
    • Click Temporary access rule ().

      The temporary access rule creation wizard opens.
