badge access

Swipe to enter

Badge access is entry to a building or restricted area using an electronic credential—typically a card or fob that communicates with a reader via proximity or magnetic stripe.

Security systems log badge access to track who enters and when: You'll need badge access to get into the server room.

The term often describes the permission itself: New employees receive badge access after orientation.
