Access Levels determine users' access to doors and readers based on a defined time schedule. An Access Level specifies the days and hours (Time Schedule) during which users can access particular doors or readers. You can create Access Levels in two ways:
- By adding individual readers.
- By adding Access Control Reader Groups (ACRGs).
