Decommission an Access Controller

Learn how to factory reset an access controller

To decommission or reset your access controller to factory settings, you first need to remove it from Command. This also deletes all user-related data from the controller and allows it to be transferred to a new organization.

To decommission or reset your access controller to factory settings, you must be an Org Admin, an Access System Admin, or an Access Site Admin for the controller's site. Learn more about the Roles and Permissions for Command and specifically for Access Control.
