Access control systems have a wide range of uses and platforms. Here, we’ll discuss three types of access control systems that are ideal for hotels through the use of RFID hotel wristbands.
Role-based access control systems are commonly used in large organizations and businesses that may handle sensitive information. In a role-based access control setup, a business maintains a list of job roles or titles within the company, each with a defined level of access in the facility through the utilization of RFID hotel wristbands. Employees are issued RFID hotel wristbands that correspond to their job role and access level. For example, a pool attendant would have access only to the pool area, while a hotel manager would have access to the entire building. Each individual uses their RFID hotel wristband on a card reader to gain entry to designated areas based on their role.
Mandatory access control operates similarly to role-based access control in that each person is issued an RFID hotel wristband that grants them access to specific areas. However, mandatory access control is more stringent, with each user assigned unique access levels rather than a general role-based approach. For instance, a hotel guest would be issued an RFID hotel wristband that allows access to common facilities, such as the pool and gym, but only permits access to their assigned room. If the guest attempted to use their RFID hotel wristband on other room doors, it would not work, as their access is limited to their specific room. This setup provides a high level of security and privacy for each guest.
Lastly, rule-based access control offers additional flexibility within the access control system by enforcing specific rules on access points. While RFID hotel wristbands are still required at entry points, rule-based access can enforce conditions like time restrictions on certain areas. For example, if pool hours are between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., a guest attempting to enter the pool area with their RFID hotel wristband at 11:05 p.m. would be denied access since it is outside of operating hours. This feature is beneficial for enforcing cut-off times in hotel areas, promoting guest and staff safety.
In conclusion, access control systems like role-based, mandatory, and rule-based, especially when paired with RFID hotel wristbands, provide hotels with robust security solutions tailored to both staff and guest security.
