Access Control Servers
An Access Control Server is a centralized system that manages, authenticates, and logs who can enter or exit secured areas within a facility. It forms the backbone of an electronic access control system, allowing organizations to control physical access based on permissions, roles, schedules, and security policies.
Main Functions of an Access Control Server
- User Authentication: Verifies identities through credentials like key cards, PINs, biometrics, or mobile access.
- Access Authorization: Grants or denies access to doors, gates, or elevators based on pre-set rules.
- Event Logging: Records all access attempts for audit trails, compliance, and investigation.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Displays current access events and alerts in a live dashboard for security teams.
- Remote Management: Allows administrators to add users, change permissions, or lock/unlock doors from anywhere.
