Scheduled unlock

It is possible to schedule the unlock on the iDFace, this way the access will be granted to any user during a predetermined interval of time at given days, with no need to identify themselves. The Scheduled Unlocks are stored as objects and must be created and modified following the same premises as other objects via API.

Register a scheduled unlock

The process of registering a scheduled unlock is very similar to the process of creation of a department (group).

  • Create objects of type scheduled_unlocks as described in this example.

  • Create objects of type access_rules as described in this example.

  • Create objects of type scheduled_unlock_access_rules (access rules --> scheduled unlocks), which are responsible for linking scheduled_unlocks objects with access_rules objects, as described in this example.

Finally, it will be necessary to define the time intervals in which the access rule will be valid, and this must be done through the three steps described below:

  • Create objects of type time_zones, a time can contain several intervals. How to create objects of this type is described in this example.

  • Create objects of type time_spans. These objects contain time intervals, days of the week, and holidays that can be linked to a time. How to create objects of this type is described in this example.

  • Create objects of type access_rule_time_zones (access rules -> times), which are responsible for linking time_zones objects with access_rules objects, as described in this example.
