Overview
Access control integrations connect Nexudus with physical smart locks and door controllers. When you integrate an access control system, Nexudus automatically provisions and manages access permissions based on your customers’ active inventory — their plans, passes, bookings, and desk assignments.How Integrations Work
When connected, Nexudus handles three key workflows:1. User Provisioning
When a customer is created or updated in Nexudus, their profile is automatically synchronized to your access control system. This creates their digital identity in the physical access system.2. Access Assignment
When inventory changes (new contract, booking created, pass assigned), Nexudus calculates which doors the customer should access and updates permissions in real-time:- Plans grant ongoing access to specified doors
- Passes provide time-limited access during valid hours
- Bookings grant temporary access during the booking window
- Desks provide access to specific zones or floors
3. Presence Tracking (Check-ins)
Door open events from your access control system automatically trigger check-ins in Nexudus, tracking when customers arrive and leave your space.Mapping Inventory to Doors
Each type of inventory can be mapped to one or more doors:| Inventory Type | Access Pattern | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Ongoing access to selected doors | Active contract duration |
| Passes | Time-bound access during valid hours | Pass validity window |
| Resources | Temporary access during booking | Booking start/end time |
| Desks | Access to zones/floors | Assignment duration |

Configuration Workflow
Setting up an access control integration follows these general steps:- Connect — Enter your access control system credentials in Nexudus
- Configure Presence Tracking — Map physical doors to check-in actions (check in, check out, toggle)
- Map Inventory — Link your plans, passes, resources, and desks to doors or lock tags
- Test — Verify a test customer can access the correct doors
- Monitor — Review access audit logs and check-in reports
Access Behavior
When Access is Granted
- Plans: Access starts on contract start date, ends on contract end date
- Passes: Access limited to pass validity window and allowed hours
- Bookings: Access starts 15 minutes before booking, ends at booking end time
- Visitors: Access limited to visit window specified by the host
When Access is Revoked
- Contract is cancelled or expires
- Pass expires or is consumed
- Booking is cancelled or ends
- Visitor access window expires
- Customer is deactivated
Best Practices
Map inventory consistently
Map inventory consistently
Use a consistent approach to mapping plans and passes to doors. For example, map all “Dedicated Desk” plans to the same door set to ensure uniform access.
Test with a dedicated test customer
Test with a dedicated test customer
Create a test customer account and assign/remove inventory to verify access is correctly provisioned before onboarding real customers.
Configure presence tracking for main entrances only
Configure presence tracking for main entrances only
Only map your primary entrance doors to check-in actions. Mapping every door creates noise in your check-in reports.
Monitor access audit logs
Monitor access audit logs
Regularly review your access control system’s audit logs to catch provisioning issues or unexpected access patterns.
