The management software allows for comprehensive user and access privilege configuration. You can easily add, delete, activate, or deactivate users who can open doors. Access can be granted based on specific doors and time schedules.

• Adding Users: Use the software interface to add new users and assign them unique card IDs or key fobs.
• Setting Access Times: Configure specific time periods during which users or groups can access certain doors. For example, an entrance door can be set to auto-open from 09:00 AM to 18:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
• Expiration Dates: Set an expiry date/time for user access privileges. Once expired, the user will automatically lose access.
• Lost Card/Key Fob Management: Easily process lost cards or key fobs to prevent unauthorized access.
