Privileges

In Telcred Access Manager, privileges express access rights. You can think of a privilege as a key that opens one or more doors with a specified credential (e.g. card + PIN), optionally restricted to times defined by a schedule.

The possible credentials are:

• Card only
• Card + PIN
• PIN only
• Remote (The Telcred Entry app)
• API 1
• API 2

The purpose of API 1 and API 2 are to let an external system request access by supplying the door identity and a credential identifier that could represent e.g. a license plate, a face, or the customer's own smartphone app.

To create a new privilege, select Privileges in the main menu and click Add new.

Start by giving the privilege a meaningful name. A good name indicates which door(s) the privilege opens and with which credential (e.g. card + PIN). Next, select which credential should be used and optionally a schedule during which the privilege should be active.

Finally, select the door(s) the privilege should be able to open by selecting them in the list to the right and moving them over to the left by clicking the left arrow. It is possible to specify the doors that the privilege should open either by including the individual doors or one or more door groups. It is perfectly fine to mix individual doors and door groups in the same privilege.

It is possible to share a privilege with another organization in the same system. Privilege sharing is explained in the section about delegation.
