SECURITY GROUP OVERVIEW
A Security Group defines a set of common system and iFob access credentials that can be applied to multiple
users. For example all Line Managers within an organisation may each require access to the same group of keys. A
Security Group called Line Managers could be created with only the iFob access levels (the keys) the Line Managers
are allowed to take. All Line Managers would be placed into the Line Managers Security Group.
If you add a new key to your system that all Line Managers require access to, you simply add the access level for the
key into the Line Managers Security Group. The opposite could apply also, if you need to restrict this group to a
particular access level, you simply remove the access level from the group. This saves lots of time because you do not
have to edit the access levels for each individual Line Manager.
Users may belong to Multiple Security Groups, for example you may have a Facilities Manager who is a Line Manager
but who also needs access to the fleet vehicle keys. In this case all the fleet vehicle keys could belong to a Security
Group called Fleet Vehicles. The Facilities Manager would therefore belong to the Line Managers and Fleet Vehicles
Security Groups. In addition Users can still be provided with their individual access levels.
Using Security Groups in this way allows for much simpler administration of your Traka system, particularly where you
have many users to maintain whom have common system and iFob access requirements. Coupled with the
facility, this makes for ultimate flexibility over your Traka system administration.
for how to configure Security Groups.
