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.
To create an Anti-Passback rule, tap or click the + Add Rule icon next to Access Rules.
Then tap/click on the Anti-Passback tab.
Schedule
Tap or click this field to select between Always, Recurring or Single Date.
Below is an explanation for each Schedule type and how to configure each option.
Always - The rule will always be processed.
Recurring - The rule will be processed only during the selected time frame each week.
Days- Select the days of the week the rule will be processed. By default, Monday-Friday are selected.
Begin - Tap or click the digits to enter the specified time (in 24-hour format) when the rule will begin.
End - Tap or click the digits to enter the specified time (in 24H format) when the rule will end.

Entry Devices
At least one door or device must be selected to function as an Entry Device, which will record that the Person has 'entered' and will need to 'exit' at an Exit Device to prevent an Anti-Passback Violation.
To add Devices to the Anti-Passback rule as Entry Devices, tap or click Edit Devices. Then tap or click to highlight the desired Entry Device(s) and tap or click the Save button to add the Entry Devices to the rule.
Exit Devices
At least one door or device must be selected to function as an Exit Device, which will record that the Person has 'exited' and that their credential can be scanned at an Entry Device without causing an Anti-Passback Violation.
To add Devices to the Anti-Passback rule as Exit Devices, tap or click Edit Devices. Then tap or click to highlight the desired Exit Device(s) and tap or click the Save button to add the Exit Devices to the rule.
If an attempt is made to select an Entry Device as an Exit Device, the rule will not save. You will see a message that says Devices must be unique.
Re-entry
The Re-Entry option specifies the behavior when an Anti-Passback rule violation occurs
Deny - When set to Deny, the Anti-Passback rule will consider any Credential entry by the violating Credential as occurring during a "Deny Explicit" state on the selected Entry Devices. This will prevent the violating Credential from being allowed access at any Entry Device listed in the rule, in addition to generating an Anti-Passback Violation event.
Allow - When set to Allow, the Anti-Passback rule allows access to the listed Entry Devices, but an Anti-Passback Violation event is generated.
Violation Expiration
The Violation Expiration option specifies the duration for which an Anti-Passback rule violation will persist for a violating Credential.
Never - Anti-passback restrictions generated by this rule will remain active for the person until a Credential for that Person is used on an Exit Device or the restriction for the Person is cleared.
1 Hour - Anti-passback restrictions generated by this rule will remain active for the person until a Credential for that Person is used on an Exit Device, the restriction for the Person is cleared, or one hour passes.
24 Hours - Anti-passback restrictions generated by this rule will remain active for the person until a Credential for that Person is used on an Exit Device, the restriction for the Person is cleared, or twenty-four (24) hours pass.
Custom - Anti-passback restrictions generated by this rule will remain active for the person until a Credential for the Person is used on an Exit Device, the restriction for the Person is cleared, or the configured time passes.
After configuring the Anti-Passback rule, tap or click the Submit button to save the rule.
