• Credential: A card or prox device that a user presents to a credential reader to gain access to a specific area.

• Internal Number (credential only): The number stored inside a card that is transmitted to a reader when it’s scanned. The internal number contains the bits of data programmed into the card by the manufacturer and is used to determine access.

• External Number (credential only): The number that is printed on the outside of the card. The external number is different from the internal number and is used for keeping track of the cards that are assigned to specific users. It doesn’t determine access.

• Mobile: A mobile credential that is scanned by a Bluetooth reader.

• Profiles or Authority Level: Option name depends on system type. Determines the options that the user has permission to access, as well as the expiration for those permissions.
