Access

The Access section manages all physical and logical access control for the site — the people who need access, the doors and zones they can enter, the rules governing that access, and the schedules those rules operate on.

When the access control system is in read-only mode, a persistent notice banner appears at the top of every tab. In read-only mode all add, edit, and delete actions are disabled across all tabs.
