# Access Groups List

Creating an Access Group list is required if you plan to use access request workflows in AccessNow, for example, to enable users to request access to additional or secure areas. The Access Group list is imported from Command Centre. Each Command Centre Access Group in the list determines access to a selected area.

## Command Centre Access Groups 

In Gallagher Command Centre, Access Groups are the primary mechanism for managing cardholder permissions by grouping individuals who share identical access criteria and operational privileges.

These groups define the three essential pillars of access control—who (the member cardholders), where (the permitted Access Zones), and when (the assigned Access Schedules)—while also establishing specific rights such as the ability to escort visitors or perform manual zone overrides.

Through a hierarchical concept called Lineage, child Access Groups automatically inherit the access requirements and privileges of their parent groups, and cardholders inherit any Personal Data Fields (PDFs) attached to their assigned groups.

Access Groups can be configured to grant memberships on either a permanent or temporary basis.

## Access Group List Management

Instructions for how to manage lists imported from the Command Centre follow the same for all of the list types including

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/creating-and-managing-workflows/workflow-configuration/lists/command-centre-lists/access-groups-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
