SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS
General Rules on
Authority Levels
and Changes
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER authority than which
he is assigned.
• A master/manager may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
• A master/manager may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the user adding
the code has access. (ex. a user with access to only partition 1 cannot assign codes in
partition 2.)
• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add A User" procedure. To
change a user's authority level, that user must first be deleted, then added again.
• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he is assigned.
• User numbers must be entered as 2-digit entries. Single digit user numbers must be
preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, etc.). Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with any DURESS code or other
user code.
Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha keypads in that partition will
display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those
keypads will be ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
