Introduction to cardholders in Space Work in progress
About cardholders
A cardholder is a person who accesses a Space installation by using any type of key. Keys in Space can refer to different types of keys such as physical keys (keycards, fobs or wristbands), or digital keys like the JustIN Mobile app. A cardholder can be a user (a member of staff, for example), a visitor, or a guest.
This section describes how to create users and the management options associated with cardholders. See Hotels for information about hotel guests. See Visitors for information about visitors and Hotels for information about hotel guests.
The information contained in this section only applies to non-hotel sites. Note that guests are treated differently from other types of cardholders. See Hotels for information about hotel guests who also use keys.
Keycards are generally referred to as keys, both in this user guide and in the system itself.
About Cardholder configuration
Although you create and manage users in the Cardholders section in the main menu, certain cardholder configuration tasks must be made in the System > General options > Users tab. These configuration tasks include the following:
- Enable and amend options for users and user keys
- Delete users permanently
- Configure user IDs
- Enable and configure tracks for user keys
See Users tab for more information.
