Access Levels
This chapter guides you on how to restrict access to created and assigned users in the work-
place through several different methods.
You can limit access of every user by time range to any doors in the workplace by configur-
ing its settings and uploading them to the devices. Devices justify the access by checking
his/her identity and effective time range. For example, you can allow access to all manag-
ers at all times but only allow access from 9am to 5pm for junior executive.
Each time range is separated into 3 intervals a day. You can set a maximum of 3 sets of ac-
cess time ranges in a day. The users can only access the workplace during these 3 intervals.
For example, you can allow access for the production workers into the production area
from 7am to 10am, 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm to carry out their duties. Therefore,
production workers cannot gain access into the factory while having their breaks between
the 3 time ranges.
You can also set the specific access time to apply to holidays. Ingress uploads the access
time together with date of holiday to devices. For example, you can allow access through
the main entrance from only 8am to 12pm during holidays. To fully utilize holiday time
zone, you must set the list of applicable holidays in Ingress before further configurations.
You can improve the security of access by using a combination of verification methods. To
do so, you can set different verification methods at individual doors. For example, R&D staff
can verify by fingerprint at the company’s main entrance, but must verify both fingerprint
and card when accessing to the R&D office.
Access Levels by Time
Firstly, you must configure the daily time set. Time set is the time where users are allowed
access into the door. The device blocks user access if his verification time is out of range.
You can apply up to 3 different time sets in a day.
Secondly, you must create an Access Group to define the time sets to follow and which
devices shall apply this time set.
Finally, you must add the users into the Access Group. Users must follow the time set set-
tings at the specific devices to gain access.
Setup of Time Set
By default, Ingress provides 2 time sets which are Anytime (all time access) and No time
(no access anytime). You can create new time sets according to your company’s require-
ments.
