Name Description
Event Category
Assign none, one or more event categories to the access control
events. The system automatically maps relevant event categories to
the events during integration. This enables a default setup in the
XProtect system. You can change the mapping at any time.
Built-in event categories are:
 Access denied
 Access granted
 Access request
 Alarm
 Error
 Warning
Events and event categories defined by the integration plug-in also
appear, but you can also define your own event categories, see
User-defined Categories.
Important: If you change the event categories in a Corporate
system, ensure that the existing access control rules still work.
User-defined Categories
Allows you to create, modify or delete user-defined event
categories.
You can create event categories when the built-in categories do not
meet your requirements, for example, in connection with defining
triggering events for access control actions.
The categories are global for all integration systems added to the
XProtect system. They allow setting up cross-system handling, for
example on alarm definitions.
If you delete a user-defined event category, you receive a warning if
it is used by any integration. If you delete it anyway, all
configurations made with this category, for example access control
actions, do not work anymore.
Access Control Actions
Actions specify the behavior of the access control system in the XProtect Smart Client, based on the
configuration of the triggering events.
You can specify one or more actions related to:

An event category

Events from the access control system

Events from the XProtect system
