What is access control: At a very basic level, Access Control is a means of controlling who enters a location and when. The person entering may be an employee, a contractor, or a visitor and they may be on foot, driving a vehicle, or using another mode of transportation. The location they’re entering may be, for example, a site, a building, a room, or a cabinet.
