Respect ACS During Enrollment

Overview:

The "Respect ACS During Enrollment" feature allows administrators to require authorization feedback from the Access Control System (ACS) before a user can be enrolled on a Rock device. This setting applies to both manual and auto-enrollment workflows and adds an extra layer of control to ensure that only ACS-approved individuals can be enrolled.

The following behavior will be observed based on the Rock's mode:

  • Manual Enrollment - A user swipes their badge at the tethered card reader. If the Rock does not receive a "Green LED" response from the ACS panel, the enrollment process will be terminated.
  • Auto-Enrollment - A user swipes their badge at the tethered card reader. If the Rock does not receive a "Green LED" response from the ACS panel, no profile creation events will occur, and the person will not be able to enroll.
