Changing the phrase to "They allow access to [Location] and by doing so [Item]" isn't correct in any case, regardless of whether the the original is wrong. Changing an incorrect phrase to yet another wrong phrase is counterproductive. You're right that the current phrase isn't correct, using something like "consequently" would be more grammatical. Feel free to change it to that if you'd like.
