The deister proxSafe plugin integrates proxSafe assets into Security Center by connecting to the deister Commander system.

After you connect the deister proxSafe plugin role to the deister Commander system, you can import assets and asset groups from deister Commander to Security Center, and export user access rights from Security Center to deister Commander.

After the initial synchronization, all asset management (aside from renaming entities) takes place in deister Commander. Changes made to assets in deister Commander are reflected in Security Center after a manual synchronization between the two systems is performed. When a deister proxSafe entity is renamed or an access schedule is updated in Security Center, the change is automatically pushed to deister Commander.
CAUTION:
This integration uses Security Center cardholders as the sole source of cardholder data. When you enroll deister Commander into Security Center, the plugin deletes existing users from the deister system as the Security Center cardholders are pushed.
  • To avoid deleting users, create them as Security Center cardholders in the plugin.
  • If there are already users on the deister system before enrollment, export them from deister Commander, and then import them into Security Center and assign them rights.

In addition to manually releasing proxSafe assets to cardholders, you can also investigate past proxSafe events, and view your asset inventory in Security Desk.
