An access group allows you to specify access schedules for specific doors. When you add an access group, you select a schedule and the doors and members included in the access group. The members in the access group can use their physical credentials or the Member Portal app to unlock the doors in the access group according to door schedules that can either be static or selected by members. This article covers these settings.
This article is part of the Kube access control setup flow. For more information, see Kube setup checklist.
TIPS:
You can assign members and doors to access groups after you add the access group. For more information, see Assigning an access group to a member and Assigning an access group to a door.
If you need to give a member access to a private space, create an access group that only the member and the space's doors (and any dependent doors) are assigned to.
To add an access group
Select Properties in the top menu.
Locate your property in the data grid and click the property's name. The Property Spaces screen appears.
Select Setup in the side menu and select the Access Control tab. The Settings screen appears.
Select the Access Groups tab.
Click the Add button.
Complete the fields. For field descriptions, see the New Access Group Screen Reference at the end of this article.
Click Save.
TIP: The next step in the Kube access control setup process is to add global access groups. For more information, see Adding a global access group.
New Access Group Screen Reference
Name | Name for the access group. |
Schedule | Select the schedule that controls when the doors in the access group are available. Kube displays the selected schedule's events in the Schedule Details section of the screen for your reference.
NOTE: If no schedules appear in the list, a schedule has not been added. For more information about adding schedules, see Adding an access control schedule. |
Doors | Select the doors included in the access group. This field is optional and you can assign individual doors to the access group later, but you must assign at least one door for the access group to function. For more information, see Assigning an access group to a door.
NOTE: If no doors are available in the drop-down menu, none have been added yet. For more information, see Adding a door.
TIP: If a member needs to access multiple doors to reach a space, be sure to include all dependent doors in the access group. For example, a member might need to access the main door and a suite door to access a conference room. In this case, you should include the main, suite, and conference room doors in the access group. |
Members | Select the members included in the access group. This field is optional and you can assign individual members to the access group later. For more information, see Assigning an access group to a member.
NOTE: If no members are available in the drop-down menu, no members have a credential amenity assigned to them from a contract. For more information, see Creating a contract. |
Default | Select this option to use the access group as the default selection during access control amenity configurations. |
Member Unlock Override | Select doors from the Doors selection for which a member can change the schedule. Members can select public schedules for doors selected here. For more information on setting a schedule as public, see Adding an access control schedule.
EXAMPLE The Front door, Lobby door, and Office 1 door have been added to this access group. Office 1, in this example, the member may need to change the schedule for meetings. Select the Office 1 door in this field to give the member access to public schedules. Only schedules marked public appear in the settings for a door on the Door Access Control menu in the member portal. |
