8 Bearing this in mind, an electronic Access control System regulates who may Access specific doors or other types of entry points, such as parking gates, or elevators at specified times. Authorized individuals are recognized by a "credential", which could be a card, token, fingerprint, or personal identification number. Acting as a sort of passport, each credential has a unique marker for individual identity. To gain Access at a controlled door or entry point, the credential is presented at a reader. Like an invisible sentry, the Access control System grants Access or denies Access based on programmed settings for the credential. Called a "transaction", each instance of attempted Access , whether Access is granted or denied, is recorded to a dedicated Access control database.
