Executive APB Override
This field will only apply if Anti-Passback is first enabled under Setup, Site Settings. You can do this
immediately by clicking the link arrow to the left side of Executive APB Override to go directly to the
Site Settings page. Under Anti-Passback, you can select Enable to activate the Anti-Passback
feature for this site.
In addition, you must select cardholders and security areas under Control, Reset APB.
There are two options for Executive APB Override
• Deny Access (the default) - If APB is violated, the system will deny access to the area. This

to allow the cardholder to enter all security areas and will trigger an alarm.

and do not swipe their cards individually upon exiting or entering, the Topaz system thinks they are
still in that area. This feature allows the security staff to reset that Security Area to allow reentry for all
cardholders who have access to that area.

For example, if a cardholder who is in a specified Security Area, left the area by tailgating behind
another cardholder and did not swipe the card upon entering or exiting. The Topaz system thinks the
