Cloud Access Control Migration Guide
A good migration begins with an accurate inventory and ends with scenario testing. This guide structures the work in stages.
01
1. Current-state inventory
- □Record controllers, readers, doors, servers, versions and dependencies.
- □Map permission groups, exceptions and responsible roles.
- □Identify reports and integrations that must continue to work.
02
2. Target design
- □Define who owns identity and who approves access.
- □Set SSO, administrator role and event-retention policy.
- □Classify hardware to retain, adapt or replace.
03
3. Pilot
- □Choose a representative site or door group.
- □Test entry, revocation, failure and reporting scenarios.
- □Document success criteria and approver.
04
4. Migration and validation
- □Roll out in phases with a defined rollback point.
- □Validate permissions and reports after each phase.
- □Train administrators and document support processes.
