Authentication Policy - The Authentication Policy determines which Credential types are required to gain access.

Primary Authentication Options: 

You must select at least one Primary Authentication Policy:

• Card or Bluetooth: Requires a physical card or a Bluetooth credential via the PDK Access App.
• PIN: Requires entering a PIN on a reader keypad.
• Mobile Button: Requires tapping the Door name in the PDK Access App.

Secondary Authentication Policy (Optional):

The Secondary Authentication Policy adds an extra layer of security.

• PIN: If the Primary Authentication Policy is set to Card or Bluetooth, you can require a PIN as a second step. The user must scan their credential and then enter their PIN.

Important Note: If an Authentication Policy is set for the Device in Configuration, it may conflict with the selected Authentication Policy, causing Credentials to function improperly. It is recommended to set this during Access Rule creation.

After configuring the Elevator rule, select Submit to save the rule.
