Creating an Anti-Passback Rule
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/click the + icon next to the Rules section.
Then tap/click on the Anti-Passback tab.

Entry Devices
At least one door/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/click the + next to the section. Then tap/click the checkbox(s) next to the desired Entry Device(s) and then tap/click the Select button to add the Entry Devices to the rule.
Exit Devices
At least one door/device must be selected to function as an Exit Device, which will record that the Person has 'exited' and 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/click the + next to the section. Then tap/click the checkbox(s) next to the desired Exit Device(s) and then tap/click the Select button to add the Exit Devices to the rule.
If an attempt to select an Entry Device as an Exit Device is made, a message regarding this issue will be displayed beneath the listed Entry and Exit devices and the Anti-Passback rule can not be saved.
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 treat Credential entry by the violating Credential to be placed in 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 will allow access to the listed Entry Devices, but an Anti-Passback Violation event will be generated.
Violation Expiration
The Violation Expiration option specifies for how long 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 is cleared for the Person.
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 is cleared for the Person, 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 is cleared for the Person, 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 is cleared for the Person, or the configured time passes.
After configuring the Anti-Passback rule, tap/click the Save button to save the rule.
