UniFi Access - Configure and Manage Leave Unlocked Schedule

Configure Leave Unlocked Schedule

You can set a leave unlocked schedule for a door to keep it unlocked on a regular basis. Outside of the leave unlocked schedule, the door will remain locked.

1. Open your Access application and go to Devices > Location Hubs.
2. Select a hub, click Settings, and scroll down to the Leave Unlocked session.
3. Select Custom Schedule and do either of the following:
   • Specify when the door will remain unlocked. You can add up to 20 schedules for a single day.
   • Tick the Use a pre-defined schedule checkbox and select a schedule. You can set predefined schedules in Settings > Policies > Schedules > Leave Unlocked.
4. Enable the Holiday Exceptions feature:
   1. Click Edit Holiday and specify holidays.
   2. Set the unlock schedule for the holidays. The door remains unlocked during the unlock schedule on holidays.
5. Enable the First-Person-In feature: The door will remain locked until a designated user unlocks the door during the scheduled time. 

Example for First-Person-In:

If an admin has set a daily unlock schedule of 9 AM - 5 PM, assigned a user as the first person to enter, and the user unlocks the door at 10 AM.

Then, the door will remain locked before 10 AM. and after 5 PM, and remain unlocked from 10 AM to 5 PM. On the next scheduled day, the door will still remain locked until the designated first person unlocks the door during the scheduled time.
