How does Avigilon (OpenPath) work on Eden Team Safety?
If your team requires a wellness survey, the Avigilon x Eden setup will require that an employee pass their wellness survey before accessing the site
For teams without a wellness survey requirement, users will simply need to make a reservation for their badge to work for a particular day
When employees swipe/tap their badge at the space it will automatically check them into the Eden Team Safety system with a timestamp
Administrators are able to mark users as "exceptions" such that their badge always works, regardless of reservation status
Eden or Avigilon Administrators can always manually change the badge status if necessary
How to set up the integration
*Please note, you must have an Avigilon Administrator complete these steps
Log into your Avigilon administrator account and navigate to Users > User Management > Create User
Email: you can use your email with a "+eden" or "+" anything of your choice in order to create another Avigilon user with your email address (for example: [email protected])
First Name & Last Name: Eden, Workplace Bot
Enable portal access
Choose a role that has WRITE permission for View and edit users such as Super Admin
Click Save
Go to the Access tab and enable access to all required Zones and Entries
You will need this username and password in the next few steps
Next, navigate to your Eden dashboard and go to Settings > Integrations > Click on Authorize Avigilon
Enter in the email and password for the Eden bot that was created in Avigilon and click Authorize
Now press the "Manage Avigilon" button (on the Settings > Integrations page on Eden) which will show the linking screen:
Now match your addresses/locations in Eden to their sites in Avigilon.
Press the "Link" button for each separate address
Once Linked, the system is ready to go!
As an important final step, suspend all user credentials in Avigilon such that the default badge state is Suspended
Our system will toggle Access Control Badge Status from Suspended to Active state when the user has an approved reservation
Note: This should be completed on the user level and will apply to all forms of access (cards, mobile app etc).
If you would like to resync all users manually go to Settings > Manage Avigilon > click “Resync Users"
Additional Steps/Features
Administrators can manage individual badges on the Eden system directly by going to Settings > Manage Users > Choose User > Access Control. The badge status can be manually enabled or disabled through the toggle.
Updates made on the Eden software will be pushed to Avigilon within 60 seconds.
If employees forget to complete the wellness survey, they can do so at the office entrance and they will gain access immediately. The access will be suspended upon checkout or automatically deactivated at 11:59 pm local time each day.
Troubleshooting Notes
The initial syncing of the users between Eden and Avigilon may take 5+ minutes depending on the number of users
Employees are required to have email addresses in Avigilon that match Eden emails for the integration to work
