If you lock the door for everyone and then allow access for the gardener, then only the gardener can go through the door. The allow access option allows you to grant certain access. For example, you can first lock the door for everyone except the household. Then you can allow access to Bob Pancakes. The two options being separate makes setting access to doors easer.
@canelacaliente I'm not sure what your point is, but yes it does add some minor functionality I state that above, my point is this system does not add the needed functionality, where changing it to opposite, as I propose, would do what you mention and more.
Using your example, you could still disallow everyone and then allow the Gardener in an opposite system... that said what if you want to allow EVERYONE EXCEPT the Gardener, that is the situation that the current set up makes extremely hard.
The only way with the current system is to lock for everyone and then unlock for everyone else one by one leaving out said Gardener, very tedious. If you have a large house with many doors it's a Herculean task.
I could simply click 6 dissallows and be done with an opposite system, now I have to remember every group I've reallowed and then do this for every door. Then certain groups aren't listed like Robots or Roommates (on gates)
I'm looking into this "no trespassing" but it seems to have issues and limits itself but it's a start.
