What Is An Access Control System?

Access control is an effective way of controlling who enters a location and when. Be it an employee or visitor, either on foot or driving a vehicle, access control systems are most often utilised in commercial business settings as an added security measure. Through authentication and authorization, access control systems exist to make sure users are who they say they are, and that they have appropriate access to company premises when required.


Discretionary Access Control

Discretionary access control systems give control to the business owner. They ensure that the controller gets to determine who can access which resources or location at the push of a button. All it takes is the right credentials to gain access. As the system requires a more active role in managing permissions, it may not be the ideal choice for every business owner, seamlessly rendering the controller responsible for deciding which people are allowed in a specified location. Discretionary Access Control is the least restrictive of the systems, allowing an individual complete control over their security.


Mandatory Access Control

Mandatory Access Control constitutes any access control system in which the power to permit access is placed entirely on system administrators. This means that users cannot change permissions that deny or allow them entry into different areas. With the utmost commitment to confidentiality, this system type restricts even the owner’s ability to grant access. Depending on the tags associated with a user, they will have permitted access to resources based on what has been initially assigned to them.



Role-Based Access Control

Role-based access control systems assign permissions to a user based on their business responsibilities. As the most common access control system, it determines your level of access based on the role an employee has in the company. Access rights of this type are designed around a number of security-conscious variables related to the business, such as job, location, and others.
