A31: Design, Creation, and Implementation of a Key Card Request System at Johnson County, Kansas

PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]

Summary:
This presentation describes how Johnson County, Kansas developed a system for requesting, approving, activating and issuing security key cards using ARCHIBUS Web Central. The County is moving towards standardizing the card access systems it uses in its various facilities. The County Sheriff’s department will provide the management of the system, but needed a means to verify that the requestors had the authority to make the request. This new application uses the ARCHIBUS user’s table and roles to provide the security the Sheriff’s staff required. The new work process removes the Facilities Building staff from the authorization process, but leaves them in the loop as watch dogs. New tables were added to track the requests and capture the “door groups.” The application also addresses lost cards, changes to cards and terminated cards.

Learning Objectives:

• Developing a workflow with diverse departments' involvement
• Implementing changes in the middle of an application development
• Using Roles and VPA to develop an effective security application
