Dear Support,
I am developing a plugin for my access control system but i can’t find a way to implement, in the Milestone Management Client, key features like “Create new cardholders” or “add a door” for example. Is it possible to do it using the Management Client or does all these actions have to be done through the Access Control Platform/Server itself ?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
The Access Control framework is by design a operator interface not a configuration interface. This means the functionality you ask for here is not part of the framework.
Possibly there is one exception; using ACExternalCommand you can create a button in the Smart Client that could take the user to the Access Control Platform/Server web-interface or similar. There is not the same capability to do this from inside the Management Client.
If we forget the Access Control framework it is possible to develop a regular Management Client plug-in, which would interface with the Access Control Platform/Server and which would make it possible to add management functionality. It is important for me to emphasize that this would be a MIP Plug-in not part of the Access Control frame-work.
