Access

In this menu, you can activate external access evaluation. In this operating mode, access bookings are no longer evaluated locally on the AccessManager but are transmitted to an external system.

Overview ​

The page contains a single option that enables the function. After saving, the system operates in the described mode. The actual evaluation of access (e.g., "allowed/denied") then takes place in your connected external system.

info

When this mode is enabled, booking evaluation is no longer carried out locally on the AccessManager. Instead, all booking processes are transmitted to an external system via a configured webhook. The control of the DoorLocks is in this mode only possible via remote commands through the web interface or REST-API.

External Access Evaluation​

Option: "External Access Evaluation"​

  • Enables the outsourcing of booking decisions to an external target system.
  • All access events are sent via webhook to the provided URL.
  • Local door decisions (profile/group validation) are omitted.
warning

As long as external evaluation is active, door releases can no longer be made autonomously by the AccessManager. Ensure that the external system is reachable and correctly configured – otherwise bookings are not possible.

How to proceed​

  1. Enable the checkbox "External Access Evaluation".
  2. Set up a webhook under Webhooks to transfer the booking data to your target system.
  3. Save the settings using "Save".
  4. Test the connection by attempting access and verifying the receipt in the target system.
tip

The webhook variables $ACCESS_STATE$ and $ACCESS_EVENT_ID$ as well as user and device data are available. A JSON example can be found in the article Webhooks in the "Access" section.

Behavior of the DoorLocks in this mode​

  • Opening/closing is only possible via remote command (web interface or REST-API).
  • Local actions without a connection to the KentixONE system are not possible as the decision is made externally.
note

Plan appropriate processes for maintenance windows or network disruptions, as a lack of accessibility to the target system directly affects door release.
