Permissions for applications running on the Edge Gateway (now only: Building Operator Local and Access Control Local) are given in Access Control Local; a local variant of Access Control that is separate from the cloud variant.

However, people do not necessarily need to be added as users in Access Control Local to be able to sign in to these local applications. They can also sign in using their cloud account if the Edge Gateway and their PC are connected to the Internet. In that case, the permissions from their cloud account will be applied. Since this requires an Internet connection, make sure that all users that need to access local application also have a local account, created in Access Control Local.

Access Control Local can be accessed by connecting to the LAN 2 port of the Edge Gateway via http://<IP_address_LAN2>:5001.

The below picture shows the 4 options for how the networks can be connected to the Edge Gateway and to which network the PC for Access Control Local should be connected.

No Internet is needed to use Access Control Local. Only to update Access Control Local, you need to temporarily connect to the Internet and update the module on the Edge Gateway via Installation & Maintenance.

Steps to enter Access Control Local and create users

1. Connect your computer to (the network connected to) LAN 2 of the Edge Gateway.
2. Go to Access Control Local via http://<IP_address_LAN2>:5001
   Tip: Find the IP address of LAN 2 of the Edge Gateway in Installation & Maintenance or via service port LAN 3:
   1. Connect your computer to LAN 3
   2. Configure your computer’s Ethernet port IP address to 172.16.1.*** (where *** must be a free number between 2 and 254).
   3. Go to http://172.16.1.1
   4. Sign in with an account created when configuring the gateway to enter the local configuration application and find the IP address of LAN 2 here.
3. If you already have an account: sign in. If you are the first person entering Access Control Local on this Edge Gateway:
   1. Set the password for the default admin user account (username ‘admin’). You will now enter Access Control Local with the default admin user account. Warning: Do not forget this password. There is no possibility to retrieve the password. If you have forgotten the password, you can reset the admin account and set a new password.
   2. Set permissions for the default admin user.
4. Create users in Access Control Local and give them permissions.
   Note: As an admin user, you set the username and password for the new user. There will no email be sent to the user as Access Control Local works independently from the Internet. The password cannot be changed by the user, only by the admin user in Access Control Local.
