Creating a Group

Overview

A group is a set of users with the same access privileges to doors on one or more sites within an account. A group has a descriptive name, such as “Washington Staff.” Groups are listed in alphabetical order in the Group List.

Steps to Create a Group

  1. On the left navigation bar, navigate to the Groups tab under the Users menu.
  1. Click on the Create New Group button on the right side of the page.
  2. Enter the group name and, if desired, select from the options listed.
    1. Click the Keypad Unlock-Hold Privileges checkbox to allow any member of this group to override a door unlock schedule by presenting his or her credentials and entering 99#. To reactivate the door unlock schedule, the group member enters 00#. This option is valid for keypads only.
    2. Click the Immune to Antipassback checkbox if you want this group to not be affected by any antipassback settings in place.
    3. Select an Antipassback Reset Time for soft antipassback or leave the field blank for hard antipassback.
    4. Click the Exclude from Lockdown to allow this group to be exempt from the effects of Emergency Scenarios.
  3. Click Create Group when you’re done. You are sent to the Device Privileges page.
