How does this application work?

This solution allows visitors to automatically receive credentials during sign-in as well as expire Access It! by RS2 Technologies credentials during sign-out using the Access It API. For customers utilizing Envoy Protect, this app also offers support to activate and suspend employee access automatically during employee sign-in and sign-out.

Enabling Envoy + Access It

Depending on your network security, it may be necessary to allow-list Envoy production IPs for access into your Access It instance before proceeding. The Envoy production IPs are listed in the configuration of the app, and are listed here:

  • 18.204.164.109

  • 52.6.210.64

  • 52.86.90.108

Steps to enable Access It! (RS2)

  1. Navigate to Apps > All Apps in the Envoy dashboard.

  2. Search for Access It! (RS2) and click Install on the corresponding result.

  3. API Access: Proceed to the API Access step and enter your Access It! credentials.

    1. Note: A system user with the role Administrator

  4. User Lookup: This is a list of all of the user fields in Access It! In order to activate and or create users, we need to use their email as an identifier.

  5. Visitors: This section will allow you to customize the app behavior for Visitors' signing in through Envoy.

    1. Invite Required [Optional]: Visitors will not be registered during sign-in if this option is enabled and they do not have a previous invite.

    2. Early Access: This option allows you to specify a duration of access prior to the scheduled visitor arrival for the visitor to access the facility (e.g., parking, navigating to a meeting room, etc).

    3. Access Duration: This option allows you to specify the duration of access for visitors.

  6. Protect: Once your credentials are submitted successfully you will proceed to the Protect step. This step allows you to customize the functionality for employees signing into Envoy through Protect.

    1. Protect Enabled: This option will enable all options in the section. Disabling this option will disable all options regardless of their state (e.g., "Disabled During Sign Out" toggled on).

    2. Employee Access Duration: This option will allow you to set a time period in which employee access cards are active after a successful Protect attestation.

    3. Exclude Employees: This option allows you to select employees to entirely exclude from Envoy Protect functionality as part of the app's automations.
