Client Portal Guide

The DFACSWAN Client Portal at portal.dragonflydoors.com gives you a cloud-based overview of all your access control instances — without needing to be on the same local network as your hardware.


Logging In

Go to portal.dragonflydoors.com and sign in with your email and password.

If you don't have credentials, contact [email protected] to have an account created for your organisation.


Portal Home

After logging in, the portal home shows all instances linked to your account.

Instance Cards

Each card represents one DFACS installation (one door or facility):

Element What it shows
Instance name The friendly name configured on the device
Status badge Online / Offline / Error
Today: Granted Access events allowed so far today
Today: Denied Access events denied so far today
Today: Errors Scan events that resulted in an error
Tenant Which location or account this belongs to (multi-location accounts)

Click any card to open the full instance detail view.


Instance Detail

Portal → Your Instance

The detail page gives a deeper view of a single DFACS installation.

Today's Stats

Four stat boxes at the top summarise today's activity:

  • Granted — successful access events
  • Denied — blocked access events
  • Errors — scan errors (hardware or connectivity issues)
  • Total — combined scan count

Instance Health

A progress bar showing the ratio of granted to total scans. A healthy instance running normally will be mostly green. High denial rates may indicate membership sync issues or a misconfigured integration.

Health range Typical meaning
90–100% granted Normal operation
70–89% granted Some denials — check for expired memberships or sync issues
Below 70% granted Investigate — possible integration or hardware problem

Recent Access Log

The last 15 scan events, shown in reverse chronological order:

Column Description
Time When the scan occurred
Barcode The scanned barcode value
Name Member name (if PII display is enabled on the device)
Membership Membership type from your gym software
Result Allowed or Denied
Reason For denials: why access was blocked

Common denial reasons:

Reason Meaning
Expired membership Membership expired in your gym software
Offline - Barcode not found locally Device was offline and barcode wasn't in local cache
Offline - Previously denied: [reason] Device was offline; barcode was denied before outage
Revoked Barcode removed from member database
Past due membership Member has an outstanding balance
Non-sufficient funds Failed payment (Antaris)
Manually denied Blocked manually via the barcode tools

Configuration Summary

Key settings as currently configured on the device:

  • Billing platform / integration type
  • Relay type (hardware)
  • Sync interval
  • Unlock duration

These are read-only in the portal. To change settings, use the on-device dashboard at your local network address.

Context-aware links to the relevant documentation sections for this instance, based on your hardware and integration type — e.g., a Glofox-connected site will show the Glofox integration guide directly.


Triggering a Sync

If member data looks stale or a recent change in your gym software hasn't appeared yet:

  1. Open the instance detail page
  2. Click Trigger Sync

This tells the DFACS device to immediately fetch the latest member data from your gym platform, rather than waiting for the next scheduled sync interval.


What the Portal Can't Do

The portal is a monitoring and overview tool. Some operations still require the on-device dashboard (accessed from your local network):

  • Changing configuration settings
  • Uploading CSV member files
  • Viewing or editing access schedules in detail
  • Restarting the application

For on-device operations, see the Dashboard Guide.


Access & Permissions

What you can see in the portal depends on your role:

  • Viewer / Operator — read-only view of instances and logs
  • Manager — same, plus can trigger syncs and manage barcodes
  • Admin — full access including user management

See User Roles for the full breakdown.
