The majority of smart access control systems provide a variety of security measures, giving them the necessary design flexibility to accommodate various organisational structures. Rule-based access control is an easy approach to include extra security features that aid in meeting the unique needs of the company.

In order to make access control systems really secure, rule-based access control will be explained in detail in this blog.

Rule-based access control: what is it?

With rule-based access control, access requests can be compared against a set of rules that the user has already defined. It is a supplement to different access provisioning systems (Role-Based, Mandatory, and Discretionary) and has the ability to alter the access permission to a specific set of rules as and when necessary.

Users using IDCUBE’s Access360 software can specify access rules including occupancy control, lock scheduling, multi-man rule, door interlocking, global anti-pass-back, and timed anti-pass-back. When using timed anti-pass-back, a person can only check in to a secured location a second time after a certain amount of time has passed since his initial swipe. Another illustration is the “multi-man rule,” which states that only when two allowed people (such as the person’s supervisor) swipe together can one authorised person enter a protected area. If the inside count exceeds the permitted occupancy limit, occupancy control prevents authorised individuals from entering a door.

When consistency and a certain amount of discipline are required for the usage of access credentials in order to comply with compliance standards, rule-based access control raises the security level of conventional access control solutions. However, it might make the system a little confusing for users, therefore thorough training is required before use.
