No additional configuration is required. The Temporary Authorizations tab is available within the Access module for all clients.
Full control. Zero grey areas.
Have you ever needed to grant urgent access to a contractor — and had no way to do it without bending the system?
Or had to restrict a suppliers' vehicle immediately due to emergency in your site?
With Temporary Authorizations, Twind gives you a controlled, traceable way to handle real-world exceptions — without breaking your access control model.
A dedicated role for who manages exceptions
A new Temporary Authorization Manager role is now available. Client Admins can assign it to any user in their organization.
Users with this role can create, edit, and delete temporary authorizations.
All other client users — Client Admin, Contract Manager, Security Guard, and Client Reader — can view authorizations in read-only mode.
Create an authorization in minutes
Each temporary authorization lets you define:
Name — a clear label to identify the exception
Type — employee, vehicle, or equipment
Contractor and resource — specific resources, or all resources from a contractor
Site — one or more sites where the override applies
Authorization value — Allowed or Not allowed
Start and end date — the exact validity window
Reason — mandatory justification for the exception
Need to grant temporary access to a contractor’s worker for an urgent intervention? Done in minutes.
Need to restrict a previously authorized vehicle because of an emergency at your site? Same.
Automatic notifications. Nothing slips through.
When a temporary authorization is edited or deleted, the Authorizer receives an automatic email notification — with full details of what changed.
If the Authorizer is reassigned, both the previous and the new Authorizer are notified.
Visible in the platform. Visible in the app.
When a resource’s access status is being overridden by a temporary authorization, a “Temporary authorization” label is displayed alongside the access status — in the web platform and in the mobile app.
Full audit trail. Always.
Every temporary authorization has a complete, read-only audit trail: who created or modified it, when, and what it contained at each point in time.
Access records generated during an active authorization store a direct reference to it — visible in the record detail and included in exports.
No exceptions. No blind spots. Every override is documented.
Listing, filters, and status at a glance
The Temporary Authorizations tab shows all authorizations with their current status:
Active — currently in effect
Scheduled — set to activate in the future
Expired — past their end date
Deleted — removed, but still available for audit
Filter by name, contractor, resource, type, authorization value, site, status, authorizer, or date range — all filters are combinable and react dynamically.
If you're coming from CTAIMACAE or e-coordina
Temporary Authorizations replace and extend the exception management capabilities you already relied on.
You will find the same control you were used to — now with a full audit trail and integrated into Twind’s access control model.
