Device Groups
Device Groups are created to manage any number of doors which have common user access such as a
lobby, garage or a pool area.
Device Groups reduce the number of sector (or folder) assignments on a user’s physical credential.
Individual openings assigned into a Device Group are treated as a single assignment when
programming the user credential and requires only one credential sector for access to all doors in the
group. Mobile credentials do not have this credential sector limitation.
For a more efficient ENGAGE property setup process, Administrators should define any Device Groups
as a “Best Practice” prior to making any individual user access assignments.
Note:
Î
Devices must be commissioned before they are available for inclusion into a Device Group.
