Areas
Areas are zones the Access Control Manager assigns to define a physical area within a secured
location. This area can be relatively small, like a lab or a store room, or large, like a collection of
buildings. Areas often incorporate one or more doors with their attached inputs and outputs. Once
an area is defined, it can be assigned to a role or policy indicating that portion of a facility or
company to which assigned users are limited.
For example, a scientist works in an area designated as Laboratory A. As long as he accesses
doors leading into or exiting that area, he is granted access. But if he attempts to enter an area
designated as Administrative A, he is denied access.
To define an area:
1. From the icon task bar on the home page, click or mouse-over Physical Access.
The Physical Access main page appears.
