High-level description
Welcome handles access control and permission management in a distributed manner, allowing a building administrator to set up templates for their tenants, and each tenant in the building to manage their users' access rights:
Each building is set up with a desired set of templates for rights management by the building administrator.
The rights can cover the building (typically access control and access to sensors), food and beverages (e.g., lunch agreements), benefit agreements (discount schemes associated with the building), and others.
The company administrator then assigns the desired rights to their users, either through automated provisioning or by explicitly assigning rights to individuals in the company (e.g., the right to have expenses billed on behalf of the company).
How It Works
Creation of Building Templates
The system administrator creates a set of templates suitable for the building, together with the building administrator. A template concerning access management can then be used to grant rights to a company in the building.
Setting Up Rights for Companies in the Building
The building administrator sets up rights for each company based on a template. The building administrator specifies which access groups should be assigned to both the company's users and the company's visitors.
Assigning Rights to Users in Each Company
The company administrator assigns rights to their users, either by specifying automatic assignment upon first login, or by explicitly assigning a right to individuals.
