You use access levels to manage door access, where access is prescribed using these components:
Schedules define regular, normal use. A schedule determines when the door will be locked or unlocked.
Exceptions allow you to temporarily change the schedule.
Exceptions are useful when you need to modify an access level for a given period of time, but don't need to change the full schedule.
Exceptions take precedence over the schedule and modify an access level's behavior. Typically these are used for holidays or special events where access must be modified temporarily.
To create or modify access level schedules and exceptions, you must be an Access Admin and a Site Access Admin for the site containing the schedule.
