Access Assignment 
The Access Assignment function allows you to assign each door—one at a time—its access, 
granting door and user configuration.  
From this menu, you must select a door and assign the door schedules, holidays/vacations, 
and the users who should have access to this door. When you assign the access schedules 
to the door, you must also specify if the door schedule requires PIN access, Prox Card 
access (for E-Plex 5700 only), or dual credential access (for E-Plex 5700 only). Also, for each 
user type, you must also assign a schedule and optionally assign any one or more of the 
following three privileges: 
• Override holidays/vacations 
• Override deadbolt 
•  First user passage entry 
Finally, you can optionally enable the Passage Mode function (by default, it is disabled). After 
this process, the lock configuration data is set up and prepared to be HotSynced to the 
M-Unit and then uploaded to the door/lock. 
To manage door access assignment, select Manage Access Assignment from the Access 
Assignment menu, or click the Manage Access Assignment button.

From this window, you can manage door access assignment, including:
