Introduction to access points in Space

About access points

The Access points menu of Space is where an operator can manage doors, lockers, zones, locations, functions, and outputs.

This part of the user guide describes how to create and control access points and how to use them. It also describes how to create roll-call areas, lockdown areas, limited occupancy areas, and timed access periods to control access, and ESDs.

Access points process
