# Move Access Controllers to Other Sites

Access sites group access controllers and doors for easier management and monitoring. Each access controller must belong to a site or subsite. Controllers are linked to their doors, so moving a controller also moves all of its configured doors.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You must be an [Access Site Admin](/access-control/getting-started/roles-and-permissions-for-access-control.md) for both the current site and the destination site to change an access controller’s site.
{% endhint %}
