Holidays (and/or time-change dates) Shared Across
Multiple Accounts: Beginning with Director V4.20,
groups of holidays can be set up once, and then applied
to multiple accounts. For a shared holiday, changes
made here will affect multiple accounts. To set up or
change a 'shared holiday', refer to "Users and Holidays
Shared Across Multiple Accounts".
Holidays

automated door unlockings).
Exception: Users with "24-hr" access and 'disarm'
authority for the specific area can gain entry on
holidays. For details, refer to "Authorities for
Users/Entrants".
Holiday Deployment: See the "Holiday Type" selection
for details on system operation during holidays.
