Access Control

Access Control allows station owners to specify the following:

  • Who can use the stations: Specifies the target group for the station.

    • For Driver Groups (such as your Employees, Customers, or Residents), see Drivers to set up a connection and to define the driver group.

    • For Fleet vehicles (such as vehicles in a Motor Pool), see the Fleets to set up your fleet of vehicles.

  • When to use the stations: Specifies the hours of access to associate with each Driver Group or Fleet.

  • What happens after the allowed time.

    Configure notifications to alert users.

To configure Access Control, log in to ChargePoint Platform, navigate to Stations > Access Control.

You can define as many driver groups as you want as illustrated in the table:
