BluREMOTE – Access Points Screen​

Screen Overview​

The BluREMOTE – Access Points screen lets users find and interact with access points they are authorized to control. It provides facility-level filtering and quick search. If the user does not have an assigned security card/credential, the screen displays a blocking message: “You don’t have any security cards.”

System Behaviors and Edge Cases​

  • If the user has no active security cards, the system displays a blocking dialog: “You don’t have any security cards.” No access points are actionable until a credential is assigned.
  • The no-security-card dialog may reappear when revisiting the screen until a valid, active credential exists.
  • Search is case-insensitive and supports partial matches.
  • If the Facility filter is cleared and the user has access to multiple facilities, results may be empty until a facility is selected (behavior depends on tenant configuration).
  • The Location Exempt indicator appears only when administrators have enabled a location exemption for the session or user and has no direct user interaction.

Permissions​

  • Access to this screen requires the BluREMOTE feature to be enabled for the tenant.
  • Users must have:
    • An active person record and at least one active security card/credential.
    • Permission to view access points for the selected facility.
    • Any additional permissions required by the tenant to issue remote commands (if available).
  • Users without an active credential can open the screen but will be blocked by the no-security-card dialog.

Linked Workflows​

  • Issue or activate a security card/credential for a person (People > Credentials).
  • Assign Access Levels that grant rights to doors/readers at the selected facility.
  • Configure Access Points and ensure they are enabled for BluREMOTE use (Setup > Access Points).
  • Manage Favorites for quicker access (when available within the access point list).
