IPAC Server Administrator's Manual

What is an Account?

An account is essentially a "span of control." With the IPAC Server™ family of applications,
there is usually only one account: the System Account. This is the account that manages
the overall facility at which the system is installed. The control of all doors, exterior and
interior, as well as all devices, is managed by this one account.
If sections of the facility are leased out, then there may also be one or more Tenant
Accounts in addition to the System Account. In cases such as this, the System Account is
used to manage the overall facility, such as access to lobby doors or a cafeteria. Tenant
Accounts, on the other hand, are used to manage the access of user groups associated with
the tenant organization.
NOTE:
Administration permissions to sub-accounts are controlled by the role-

based administration settings. Roles can be granted permissions to
sub-accounts, so system account administrators can be given as
restricted as needed set of capabilities in sub-accounts.
