Use cases

ACCESSCONT is a lookup entity referenced by FLOOR and ROOM (as accessControlType) to classify the type of physical access control system protecting a space. Values might include card reader, biometric scanner, PIN keypad, mantrap, turnstile, or combination systems. This is distinct from SECZONE (which defines the security tier) and SITESEC (which lists security systems at the site level). ACCESSCONT focuses specifically on the door/entry access mechanism at the floor and room level. Simple name and description fields with flat definition structure and grid view.
