nortech - 'accommodation' feature for norpass3
TRANSCRIPT
Norpass3 Accommodation Feature
Feature Overview
Where several people have similar access requirements to numerous doors - Access Levels are ideal.
When an individual has specific requirements to access a specific door, it makes them unique. Therefore, Access Levels become complicated and difficult to manage.
Nortech’s ‘Accommodation’ feature allows cardholders to be treated as individuals, as well as members of a group.
Example - The People
Meet:
Dave, an English student
Jane, a Maths student
Mr Jones, a lecturer
& Bob, the cleaner
Example – The Place
A college and accommodation facilities

Rules for Movement
To set up access levels, we need to decide the rules for a type of person
People who have the same rules will be in the same access level
Every person with a different set of access rules/requirements will need an access level
Access Levels
1. All Students will be allowed to use the facilities in the accommodation block
2. All students will be allowed in the main school3. Only students who have paid for the gym can use it4. Only students who do not use the gym can use the library
These conditions give us 3 access levels:StudentsStudents who can use the gymStudents Who can use the library

Accommodation settings
1. Only the student(s) staying in a room in the accommodation block and Bob should have access to that room
2. Each student should also have access to the relevant areas in the college
3. There are 200 rooms in the accommodation block
These conditions give us 200 access levels
OR
We can use the 3 access levels for the students and assign “accommodation rights” (using the Accommodation feature) to each individual for use on their own door
This keeps access levels simple
Create a Card
Select a standard ‘Access Level’ from drop down box
Start the Accommodation feature
Choose the Door
Choose a door from the accommodation block
Search for a name
Search for a name (or part of the name) and drag & drop them onto the list (right) for the required accommodation door.
Each user in the list has unrestricted 24 hour access to that particular door.
Simple
So, instead of having to create multitudes of access levels you simply treat cardholders in 2 ways1. Put them into their access level (e.g student and GYM)
2. Assign them ‘accommodation rights’ to their own door
The ‘Accommodation Feature’ simplifies the process of card management when everyone needs to be treated individually
When a card is disabled on the system the accommodation rights are suspended, or alternatively, the accommodation rights can be removed without affecting the access rights to the rest of the system
