Built for Inner Range Inception

management,
finally made sense.

UMI is a modern web interface for Inner Range Inception. See your users in a clean department tree, drill into details that actually fit on screen, and create or edit users without clicking through ten dialogs.

/ THE PROBLEM

Inception is powerful. Its user screen, less so.

If you've ever onboarded staff, audited permission groups, or tried to find one user in a flat list of two thousand, you already know.

WITHOUT UMI

A flat list, a browser-bound UI, and a lot of scrolling.

Inception's native user screen lists every user in one long table. Department isn't a real field — it's typically a custom field or buried in permission groups. Editing means opening dialog after dialog.

  • Flat user list — no real hierarchy
  • Built for installers, not day-to-day office staff
  • Filtering buried behind menus
  • Common edits take 6+ clicks
  • Onboarding non-admin users? Painful.
WITH UMI

A tree on the left. A real interface on the right.

UMI reads users from Inception's REST API and arranges them like Active Directory — departments, sub-divisions, individual users. Click. Edit. Done.

  • AD-style tree built from your departments & custom fields
  • Web-based — works on any device, any browser
  • Filter and search built into the tree
  • Inline edit, save in one click
  • Friendly enough to hand to HR or reception
/ FEATURES

Everything Inception can do — laid out the way you'd expect.

UMI is a thin, focused layer on top of Inception's REST API. No data leaves your network. No daemon to install. Just a faster way to work.

/ 01

Department tree

Users arranged hierarchically by department, sub-department, and division — derived from your existing custom field or permission group structure.

/ 02

Create & edit users

Add users, set PINs, assign cards, manage expiry, and update permission groups. Inline editing with single-click save — no nested dialog hell.

/ 03

Instant search

Find any user by name, card number, department, or any custom field — results filter the tree live as you type.

/ 04

Bulk actions

Select multiple users to update permission groups, set expiry dates, or disable in one operation. Onboard or offboard a whole team at once.

/ 05

Self-hosted & private

UMI runs on your network and connects directly to your Inception controller. No cloud relay, no vendor middleman, no data leaves the building.

/ 06

Role-based access

Give reception read-only access to staff details. Give HR full edit rights for their department. Admins keep full control over everything else.

/ HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. One afternoon.

UMI is designed to sit alongside your existing Inception install with zero changes to the controller. Stand it up on any small Linux box, point it at your Inception controller, and you're working.

01

Drop the container on your network

UMI ships as a single Docker container. Run it on any host that can reach your Inception controller. No database to provision — UMI is stateless.

02

Authenticate against Inception

Point UMI at your Inception URL, supply an API key with the right permissions, and accept the self-signed cert. UMI handles tokens and refresh on its own.

03

Configure your tree, share the URL

Pick which custom field or permission group becomes the department hierarchy. Set up operator roles, and send staff a link. They're in.

/ SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

Starting with Inception. More to come.

UMI is built around a clean abstraction over the underlying API, so adding another platform means writing a connector — not rebuilding the app.

AVAILABLE NOW

Inner Range Inception

Full user management, department tree, bulk operations, and search. Works with any current Inception firmware that exposes the REST API.

COMING SOON

Inner Range Integriti

UMI for the larger Integriti platform — same interface, scaled to enterprise sites with thousands of users and complex permission models.

COMING SOON

Tecom Challenger / WMS Pro

Cardholder management for Tecom sites running WMS Pro. The same tree, search, and inline edit experience — over the WMS Pro REST API.

/ ABOUT

Made by people who install these systems.

UMI comes from Offcut Studio — a small Australian software studio that's spent years working alongside security integrators, installers, and end users. We saw the same complaint over and over: the back-end is fine, the day-to-day interface isn't.

So we built the interface we wished existed. UMI is one of a handful of focused tools we make for the security industry — quietly useful software for systems that already work well underneath.

"
The native screen was always the thing slowing us down. UMI strips away the friction without changing how Inception actually works underneath. It just feels right.
