With <a href="https://docs.verkada.com/docs/access-control-overview.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Verkada Access Control</a>, door access is prescribed using 2 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 a door's access for a given period of time, but don't need to change the full schedule. 
- Exceptions take precedence over the schedule and modify the door's behavior for the entire day. Typically these are used for holidays or special events where access must be modified temporarily.
