Since a driver can match more than one access policy, it is important to arrange the policies in a top-to-bottom order based on “most allowed hours” to “least allowed hours” in order to match the best one first. For example, if your employees can always use your stations while the public can use the stations only on the weekends, then list the policies for the employees at the top of your list.
