Called Access Assignments, it is designed primarily to reduce GUI requirements, CS Gold AdminWeb uses the Internet to enable CS Gold nightly reports, ad hoc reports, patron lookups, access assignments, and point-of-service messaging on any Internet-ready computer or mobile device. Its latest module brings CS Gold’s access assignment capabilities directly to users who may view and edit access assignments, schedules, and calendars; assign access to patrons and patron groups; and even set up door lock/unlock schedules, all via the Internet. AdminWeb, which has been available for remote access to reports and patron searches for more than a year, also has the ability to display emergency messages in the header area of the website.

“We really wanted to cut down on the number of CS Gold client installs throughout our campus that were used for access control management, and with AdminWeb Access Assignments we can do that,” says Jim Clinton, director, card operations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Plus, we are able to add more features for individual departments to use to make their access management more efficient, such as logging in remotely from anywhere through the website.”

“A typical day in the life of a campus card administrator rarely involves sitting behind a desk for extended periods of time, so we developed CS Gold AdminWeb to help our users maintain control on the go,” says Randy Eckels, senior vice president, sales and marketing, The CBORD Group, Ithaca, NY. “AdminWeb features a broad range of functionality, and the latest release of online access management underscores the need for universities to be able to act quickly to secure their campuses at any time.”
