Access Paths define event-driven rules that automatically execute a sequence of device commands when a specific access-control event occurs on particular devices. They link an event trigger (a door-access or reader-auth event on selected devices) to an ordered list of command actions (a macro). They are similar to Automation Rules but are specifically constrained to access-control event types.
