Configure an integrated access control system
The steps for a successful creation and configuration of an integrated access control system:
1. Add the integrated access control system to your XProtect system. See Wizard for access
control system integration (on page 255). The wizard takes you through the most basic steps.
2. Specify additional properties for the access control system integration, especially the access
control events may require that you map events from the access control system with event
categories that XProtect recognizes. See Access control properties (on page 257).
3. You need to create a role with permission to use access control features in XProtect Smart
Client. See Access Control tab (see "Access Control tab (roles)" on page 201).
4. You also need to associate this role with a Smart Client profile. See Smart Client profile
properties (on page 127).
5. The system provides a default rule that lets access request notifications appear on the
XProtect Smart Client screen in case of access denied. You can add and modify access
request notifications, see Access Request Notification (properties) (see "Access Request
Notification tab (Access Control)" on page 259).
6. You can create additional rules based on actions and events from the access control system.
See About actions and stop actions (on page 135) and Events overview (on page 142).
7. If required, change the overall access control settings in Options > Access Control Settings.
See Access Control Settings tab (see "Access Control Settings tab (options)" on page 219).
Wizard for access control system integration
The Access control system integration wizard is for step-by-step configuration of the initial
integration with an access control system. Use the wizard to get through the most basic configuration
tasks. You can do more detailed configuration afterwards.
Before you start the access control integration wizard make sure you have the integration plug-in
installed on the event server.
