Overview

ACT365 (from Vanderbilt) is cloud-based access control. The integration adds your customers to ACT365 as cardholders and puts them in the right cardholder groups based on what they have in Nexudus. You decide which doors each group opens in ACT365; Nexudus decides who’s in each group. The integration costs £50 a month per location (shown in your currency), on top of what ACT365 charges. You need an ACT365 account with your doors installed — contact Vanderbilt to set one up.

How access works

​
Before you start

Create your cardholder groups in ACT365 — they can only be created and edited there. Each group should include every door a customer needs — for a meeting room, that’s the room door, the floor door and the main entrance.

​
Setting up ACT365

1

​
Giving customers cards

Open the customer, go to Account → Access rights, and enter each card number in Access cards, pressing Enter after each one. Changes are sent to ACT365 automatically — for example, when you replace a lost card.
  • ACT365 only accepts numeric card numbers, and up to four cards per customer.
  • A customer’s ACT365 cardholder is only enabled once they have at least one card in Access cards.
Customers can also open ACT365 doors from the white-label Passport app, or with an automation tile — set to Unlock Act365 door for a single door, or Show Access Control pop-up to list the doors they can open.
