Assign Smart Access to account team members as part of the account team member creation process. These are users who work for the operator. These team members can open particular doors at your site or sites using their access devices.
Important: This topic describes the changes associated with the Create account team members functionality when Smart Access is in use. An additional page is added to the Add a team member wizard, from which you can:
Assign the team member an access device (card), by capturing their card ID.
Associate the team member with one or more groups; indicating which doors they should be able to open.
Activate access control for the team member; granting them access rights when they tap their devices, and, optionally, granting them those access rights even when the site is offline.
Note: When you edit your team member, you can manage their Smart Access set up; activating and deactivating them on Smart Access, and capturing their card details. Their groups are updated in the separate Manage groups dialog box.
Create an operator team member with Smart Access
From Account > Team members:
Follow the standard process to create an account team member.
Because you have Smart Access, an additional Smart access page is present in the wizard:
In the Smart access page, specify:
The Smart Access status for the team member, and details of their access card. For more information, see Smart Access set up.
The details of the Smart Access groups that the user should be a member of. For more information, see Smart Access groups.
Click Add team member.
The new account team member is created with Smart Access details as defined.
Note: If the new team member is created with Smart Access activated and they are assigned a Card ID, they will be able to open the doors associated with their active groups using their access card.

Further information
Deleting a team member removes all of their details, including their Smart Access details.
When I delete a team member, they can no longer open doors with their access card, and their card details are removed from the system.
Tip: This means the card can be reassigned to another user, access user, or team member.
