Registering access rules in iDSecure is a detailed process divided into 6 steps. These steps help configure the exact conditions to allow or deny access to certain areas for different users. Here's a detailed guide for each step:
Step 1 - Name
In the first step of access rule registration, you need to provide a unique description for the rule. Here are the main instructions:
- Required Fields: Fill in the description field.
- Additional Rules:
- There should be no duplicate rule descriptions.
- A success notification is displayed when returning to the record GRID.
- Internationalization is applied to all fields.
After filling in the description, you can click "Next" to proceed to the next step.
Step 2 - Who
In the second step, you associate the rule with people, groups, or types. The options include:
- People and Visitors: Associates specific individuals.
- Groups and Companies: Associates groups or companies.
- Types: Associates all or specific types of people or visitors.
The rules for this step include:
- Move records between the GRIDs to associate or disassociate.
- You cannot proceed to the next step without choosing at least one record.
Step 3 - When
In this step, you associate schedules with the rule. The instructions include:
- Choose when the rule should be applied.
- Move records between the GRIDs to associate or disassociate.
You cannot proceed to the next step without choosing at least one schedule record.
Step 4 - Where
The fourth step involves associating areas with the rule. Here are the main instructions:
- Select where the rule should be applied by choosing specific areas.
- Move records between the GRIDs to associate or disassociate.
- Activate the toggle to apply the rule to all areas.
You cannot proceed to the next step without choosing at least one area or selecting all areas.
Step 5 - How (Additional Settings)
This step is dynamic and will only appear if configured in the system's "Access" settings. Here, you can:
- Enable Credit Control: Associate credit types with the rule.
- Access Methods: Disable access by biometrics, card, or password.
- Associate Area with Device: Associate devices with the areas in the rule.
Step 6 - Confirmation
In the final step, you review and confirm the chosen settings. The system will display a summary of the configuration, showing the records selected by the user. Clicking Save
will save the entire access rule registration.
Note: When there is no "How" step, the confirmation step will become step 5. The "How" step is activated and deactivated in the system settings.

To edit an existing rule, click the Pencil
icon corresponding to the record you want to edit. You will be redirected to the Edit Screen
