If you have an integrated Access Control System, essentry offers the possibility of manipulating the allocation and activation of specific access profiles. 

This can be done by configuring the transition-actions in the check-in flow editor.

Access Profile Manipulation

1. Select the desired check-in flow and click Edit Current Flow.
   
   
2. In the actions, select Manipulate Access Profiles.
   
   
3. Choose the appropriate manipulation type:
   Add - Adds the specified access profiles to the guest.
   Remove - Removes the specified access profiles from the guest.
   Set/Overwrite - Removes all access profiles of the guest and adds the specified profiles.
   
   
4. Choose the access profiles that should be added, removed or set. You can select any amount and combination of access profiles.
   
   
5. Optionally assign conditions to the manipulation action to further refine when access profiles are manipulated.
   
   
6. Click Save and then Publish & Use All Changes to finalize the configuration.

Access Profile Manipulation Logic

Since the check-in flow can be applied to multiple locations, all access profiles that are defined for the entire account can be selected in the above process.

The way these action interact with access profiles that are already applied, is shown below:

To ensure that no unnecessary access profiles are assigned, the system will automatically ignore any access profile manipulations, that do not match the location the guest is currently at.

By default, access profiles are deactivated in all states except for the Onsite state.
