Introduction
A turnstile is a form of gate that provides access to an individual at a time. It can also enforce one-way traffic for the community and restrict passage to only authorized individuals. For example, this setup is suitable for the lobby of an office building. With this setting in place, it will allow access to authorized individuals only; while at the same time preventing strangers from tailgating into the premises. Following the setup, users can use TimeTec Access to view the data from any place by computers or smartphones.

Introduction
The Face ID 5 or Smart AC1/TD is a visible light facial recognition access control device for modern office access. It supports multiple verification methods, including Face, Fingerprint, Palm & Password. In addition, it is embedded with a mask reading and fever detection features that can authenticate a person’s identity with a face mask on and read the body temperature before giving access to those with healthy reading. Furthermore, the extra wide-angle recognition with up to 2 meters recognition distance made this device one of the fastest and contactless verification methods that significantly reduce the potential risk of cross-contamination in premises.

This article explains how to add the Face ID 5 and Smart AC1/TD in TimeTec Access, the cloud-based access security management solution. With the integration of face recognition device in TimeTec Access, it provides tight security with the most accurate biometrics authentication, and TimeTec Access also provides the convenience of data access and data management directly from the web browsers mobile applications.

In view of security concerns, TimeTec Access offers the access rights control to authorize users to manage the system role within the organization. By default, there are two types of User Role:

1. Master (System Administrator) who has full access and is responsible for setting up and maintaining the TimeTec Access system.

2. Normal User - TimeTec Access allows users to create and customize the access rights. Depending on the rights given by the Admin roles, normal users will also be able to assign roles to selected employees.
We target to improve better user experience. In doing so, this article will provide some tips on managing system roles and the admin modules more efficiently and effortlessly. This is how it can be done:

Process
Step 1 - Add System Role:
Click on the System Role tab, create a new System Role with specific access rights by clicking on the Add button.

At the pop-up window, there will be an option to allow users to copy the access rights from existing System Roles or even to edit the copied role, if necessary. This is to quicker the process in creating a new yet similar system role. Fill up the System Role Name and Description.

Upon selecting the Full Division will allow the Admin to access all users’ information in the Organization Structure while Partial Division will only allow Admin to access a limited amount of users’ information.

Next, selecting Access Point will allow Admin to access and manage the access location of the devices. All depends on the preconfigured Access Point settings.

Subsequently, set the access rights for the System Role by ticking on the Full Module Rights. This will allow all modules access in the TimeTec Access while unticking it will change the accessibility of the module for the role.

Step 2 - Assigning Admins into the System Role:
After setting up the System Roles, the Admin can also be easily assigned under the System Role by clicking on the ‘+’ button.

Once the + is clicked, a pop-up window will appear and a list of Admins (excluded from the role) will be displayed for selection.

Step 3 - Configuring System Role While Adding Admins Into the System:
On the other hand, System Roles can also be arranged specifically while adding an Admin into the system. To add an Admin into the system, please click on the Add button under the Admin tab.

At the pop-up window, select the existing system user that you wish to assign as the Admin and select the relevant System Role. Note that the default System Role is Master if the users do not wish to create any System Roles within the system.
