Identities

In YourSixOS access control, an identity is a physical person that is being granted access to barriers. The identity holds at least one credential (e.g. an access card).

Adding identities

No matter if you're adding one or several identities; identities and credentials are added using the batch creation tool.

1. From the navigation bar, select Configuration.
2. In the page menu, select Identities.
3. Click Add identities in the upper-right corner. This will bring up the identity batch creation tools.
4. Provide the common settings in the left side of the tool, such as the default identity groups to which each identity in the batch will become a member.

Adding a single identity and credential

Using the fields to the right side of the tool:

1. Enter the name of the identity (e.g. John Smith).
2. Enter the name of the credential (e.g. Card 1).
3. Provide the card data by either:
   • Typing the card data manually.
   • Using the reader icon to capture data directly from any reader within your organization.

WARNING

• The card data must be in hexadecimal representation (e.g. 6a3875).
• The card data must match the byte order in which the reader presents the data to the controller (some readers present in reverse order, e.g. 75386a).

4. Provide a PIN code (not optional for security reasons).
5. Click the plus (+) icon to add the identity and credential to the batch.
6. Click Save & clear to enroll the batch and start a new batch. Click Save & finish to enroll the batch and leave the tool.

Adding multiple identities and credentials

Following the same steps as above, it's as simple as using the (+) icon to add additional identities to the batch.

Importing identities from a CSV file

Just as it's possible to stage an identity batch manually, it's also possible to import the batch from a CSV file.

1. Once the batch creation tool has been opened, go to the Common settings section and select Import CSV (located in the lower corner).
2. Click Upload file and choose the CSV file from your local device.
3. Select the basic format options.
4. Map the columns in the CSV to the required identity fields.
5. Click Save to complete the import.
