How to create and use access groups on E-Flux by Road
If your charging point is connected to E-Flux by Road, you can create access groups. Access groups allow specific users or charge cards to charge either for free or at a discounted rate at the associated charging station.
Types of access groups
There are two types of access groups you can create:
RFID card group
These are any RFID cards that allow free charging.
You can add cards by their UID (internal chip number) or visual ID.
If you have an RFID reader, you can scan the chips to retrieve their card codes.
You can then fill in a CSV file with the card codes and import it, to add multiple cards to the group at once.
If you don't have an RFID reader, contact your charge card provider to add the cards.
E-Flux by Road charge card group
You can add users who have an E-Flux by Road charge card to the group. These users will be allowed to charge for free.
Assign the access group to your charging station
Creating an access group and adding cards to it is not enough on its own — the group also needs to be linked to the charging station before it takes effect. To do this:
Go to My Locations and select the correct location.
Go to the Configuration tab.
Click the gear wheel icon and add your access group.
Repeat this for every charging station you want the access group applied to.
Note: without this step, cards or users in the group will not be recognised as free or discounted at the charging station.
Private vs shared access groups
Private group:
Only you can view and manage this group.
You are the only one who can add the group to your charging point.
Shared group:
Visible to all users within your account.
Any user can add the group to their charging point.
