Access control management

This workflow automates access control management by processing access requests, validating credentials, and updating permissions in real-time. It ensures secure facility access while maintaining compliance logs and generating audit reports.

Workflow Trigger

Access request submitted via badge scan, mobile app, or visitor management system

Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Receive Access Request

    An access request is initiated when someone scans a badge, submits a mobile credential, or requests visitor access. The system captures the request details including location, time, and credential information.

  2. 2
    Action

    Validate Credential Authentication

    The system verifies the presented credential against the database, checking for active status, expiration dates, and biometric matches if required. Multi-factor authentication is processed when configured.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Evaluate Access Authorization

    The system determines if the authenticated user has permission to access the requested area based on their role, time restrictions, and current security level. Special conditions like escort requirements or temporary restrictions are evaluated.

  4. 4
    Action

    Execute Door Control Action

    Based on authorization results, the system either grants access by unlocking doors/gates or denies access while logging the attempt. Real-time alerts are sent for denied access or security violations.

  5. 5
    Action

    Monitor Area Occupancy

    The system tracks entry/exit events to maintain real-time occupancy counts and monitors for tailgating or unauthorized entry. Video surveillance is triggered for verification when needed.

  6. 6
    Action

    Log Compliance Data

    All access events are automatically logged with timestamps, user details, and locations for audit trails. Compliance violations or policy breaches are flagged for review.

  7. 7
    Output

    Generate Access Reports

    The system produces real-time dashboards, compliance reports, and security alerts for management review. Automated notifications are sent for critical access violations or system issues.

Outputs

  • Real-time access control decisions
  • Compliance audit logs
  • Security incident alerts
  • Occupancy tracking reports

Key Metrics

  • Access request response time
