Authorities for
Users/Entrants
(V4.4)
Attention: Beginning with V4.4, area selection has
been redesigned, and clicking an area in the tiny
leftmost column causes settings to be copied to match
the area(s) already selected. See "Selecting Areas"
before you proceed.
Users Shared Across Multiple Accounts
: Beginning
with Director V4.20, groups of users can be set up
once, and then applied to multiple accounts. This
involves reserving blocks of authorities for shared
users, assigning authority ID#s to specific shared users,
and defining appropriate authorities (at the correct ID#s)
for each account. For details, refer to "Users and
Holidays Shared Across Multiple Accounts".
User-Authorities for an Account
Authorities determine:
When and where blocks of users will be able
to enter controlled areas, and;
Which tasks they will be able to perform:
+ At system keypads, and;
+ In the "Control & Status" screens, and;
+ Per items on maps (Visual Director)
V4.0.
For an operator to control items through this software,
they must also have "Control and Status" permission.
Related Topic: "Operator Permissions".
Reference Notes
:
Authorities are defined here, and then assigned to
individuals through the Users screen.
Related Topic: "Users (Entrants / Panel Users)"
Authorities also determine which Control & Status
selections will be accessible to each operator (since
'Control & Status' requires entering a valid user
ID+PIN).
Suite-Security Keypad authorities are selected in the
screen for each specific user. For details, refer to the
section on "Users".
Additional authorities (and users) would typically need
to be set up for a 'Panic Token' application. For details,
see "Panic Token" under " Access ", to follow.
