Setting Up User Access Control with Secure

During the setup of your AlphaCard Visitor Pass software, you may need different users to have different levels of access to the software. AlphaCard Visitor Pass allows you to create both user accounts and user groups to easily configure differing levels of software permission.

Enabling and Configuring User Accounts

1. To begin, go to the configuration tab.
2. Once there, check the Enable logins feature check box.
3. AlphaCard Visitor Pass will ask you if you are sure that you want to enable the logins feature. Click Yes to proceed.
4. Creating new user groups allows you to quickly and easily assign new users to set levels of access. This screen shows you all of your created groups on the left hand side of the page, and the group name and a brief description on the right. For security, you can also mandate when a password expires and needs to be recreated by the user. If you either have very few levels of access needed, or each user is going to have a unique level of access, we would recommend skipping the group setup, and simply create a new user when you require additional levels of access.
5. On the next screen you can setup your individual users. Enter in the Username and Password for the user. Alternatively, for security, you can select the option for the user to reset their own password on their first login. If you wish, you can assign the user to a group policy, or leave it unassigned to create a custom user profile.
6. On the last screen you will be able to set the individual rights for your group or user. This is organized per tab, and then per button.Any option that is unchecked will remove the button from the user interface completely, so be careful when organizing these roles as you don’t want to accidentally remove a vital function from a user. We also recommend keeping the full admin profile as is, so that you can always access the program in its entirety.
7. Once you are done, simply hit the finish button, and then the next time you open up AlphaCard Visitor Pass you will be prompted to login. Once you do, all of your permissions will be set to that user.
