As a security guard myself, I can say that he did handle it entirely wrong. People usually cooperate when you explain why they can't be there and that it is your job to tell them that or call the police. They usually understand. I mean, it's what they are paying the guard to do and it's not some power trip. I think the guard said "a permit" when he meant "permission." For example, if the biker were commuting to the construction area on his motorcycle, he'd have permission but, most likely, not a permit.
