Anti-Passback

Anti-Passback Rules are used to define a specific sequence in which Credentials must be used and are most commonly used for areas with defined exits and entrances. While an Anti-Passback rule is active, the system requires that for every allowed Credential entry by a Person at a designated entry device, there must be a corresponding allowed Credential entry at an exit device before the Person can use their Credential at an entry device without an Anti-Passback Violation occurring.
