Access Control Events tab (Access Control)
Event categories organize events and influence access control behavior. For example, you can set one alarm to trigger for multiple event types.

| Access Control Event |
Lists the access control events imported from the access control system. The integration plug-in controls default enabling and disabling of events. You can disable or enable events at any time after the integration. When an event is enabled, it is stored in the event database, and users can filter for it in the XProtect Smart Client. |
| Source Type |
Shows the access control unit that can trigger the access control event. |
| Event Category |
Assign event categories to the access control events. You can add multiple categories. The XProtect system automatically maps relevant event categories to the events during integration and creates a default setup. You can change the mapping at any time. Built-in event categories are:
The integration plug-in's own events and event categories might be displayed, and you can also define your own event categories. If you change the event categories in XProtect Corporate, ensure that the existing access control rules still work. |
| User-defined Categories |
Allows you to create, modify, or delete user-defined event categories. You might want to create event categories when the built-in categories do not meet your requirements, such as when you define triggering events for access control actions. The categories apply to all integration systems added to the XProtect system. They enable you to set up cross-system handling, such as on alarm definitions. If you delete a user-defined event category, you will receive a warning if it is in use with any of your integrations. If you still delete it, all configurations made with this category, such as access control actions, will no longer work. |
