The term "access corrections" refers to the subsequent adjustment, correction, or deletion of access events within an electronic access control system. Such corrections become necessary in cases of faulty entries (e.g., due to malfunctioning readers), manual entries (e.g., by security personnel), or retrospective changes to schedules, user roles, or access rights. The goal is to ensure consistent, traceable, and audit-proof access documentation.
Manual Entry Correction: Adding, modifying, or deleting individual access entries to rectify errors.
Permission History: Viewing and editing historical access rights of a user for a specific period.
Error Detection: Automated identification of unusual or faulty access events for further review.
Rollback Function: Reversing incorrect or unauthorized access changes with full logging.
Logging & Audit Compliance: Complete documentation of all changes and corrections with timestamps and user identification.
Integration with Time Tracking Systems: Synchronization of corrected access times with time management or payroll systems.
User Notification: Automated alerts to inform affected employees of access corrections performed.
An employee forgets to register their entry with their access card – the event is manually added later.
A defective card reader mistakenly logs multiple access attempts – the duplicates are corrected.
Following a shift schedule change, prior access entries need to be adjusted.
A security guard grants manual access to an external visitor – the access is recorded afterward.
The system detects an implausible access event outside working hours – it's flagged for correction.
