Access Control Records
An access credential audit compares recorded users with the permissions they should have today. It is easier to run when one responsible administrator can confirm the system and approve changes.
Keep the worksheet in your approved record system. Export features and logs depend on the installed product, so check the vendor's documentation before planning an automated audit.
A current account can still have more access than its role needs. Include shared codes and administrator privileges in the review.
When someone leaves, coordinate the credential change with your organization's wider offboarding process.
If a credential is accepted but the door does not release, the problem may need a technical assessment rather than another permission change.
When you call, describe what the reader shows, what the door does and when the fault started.
