Master Override: With 'Master Override' authority 
(previous), these scheduled door class settings are 
ignored (same as A/B/C – 'Always'). 
Arm/Disarm Authorities
: Inability to disarm also blocks 
the ability to enter an armed area. (See " Arming 
", previous.) 
Elevators (Lifts)
: This setting pertains to elevators as 
well (controlled floor access). 
 Floor Map   
(systems with elevators and floors) 
- (3D list of floors): Systems with elevator 
controllers provide controlled access to system 
floors. Select the floors to be allowed for 
persons associated with this user-authority. 
(Click the floor names, or within the 3D 'stack' of 
floors.) 
Floor access is also affected by: 
+ Other Authority Settings
: Selections under 
"Access" and "Access Schedule" for the 
area associated with the elevator reader; 
+ Area Configuration Settings
: "Arm/Disarm 
schedule", plus whether or not the area will "Allow 
out of schedule opens"; 
+ Elevator/Reader Configuration Settings
: "Class 
Map" schedule and settings, plus misc. items such 
as "Lockout". 
Tip: Elevators and/or specific floors can also be set so 
anyone can access during certain times regardless of 
their authorities (i.e., without using an access 
card/token). This can be manually via maps or "control 
& status", or through a 'desecure schedule' included in 
the set-up for each floor and/or elevator cab. 
 LCD  
- LCD Name: A shorter version of the name to be 
displayed at LCD keypads. This is assigned 
automatically, and can also be changed if 
desired (max. 12 chars., plain text). 
(Ranges of Users and Authorities) 
This determines the users and authorities that users 
associated with this authority (being edited) will, in turn, 
be able to edit through LCD keypads. This allows a 
facility with multiple tenants (e.g., row of shops) to be 
managed as a single account—with each tenant able to 
edit their own range(s) of users and authorities. 
ATTENTION: Do NOT leave these blank unless you 
wish to block users associated with this authority from 
editing any users and/or authorities through LCD 
keypads. 
- User Ranges: Up to 8 ranges of users to be 
accessible/editable through system keypads (by 
users associated with this specific authority 
being edited). 
Steps: 1) Click a range/position in the list; 2) Enter 
start and end values in the boxes provided; 3) Click 
[Add] or [Update] (as applicable); 4) Repeat for any 
additional ranges as applicable. 
Tip
: If you enter adjacent ranges (e.g. 1-99 and 100-
199), they will be changed to a single range 
automatically (e.g., 1-199). 
- Authority Ranges: Up to 8 ranges of user 
authorities to be accessible/editable through 
system keypads (by users associated with this 
specific authority being edited). 
Steps and Notes: See the details for 'User Ranges', 
previous. 
Custom Information 
Categories for Users 
(Custom 
User Information) 
Users Shared Across Multiple Accounts
: To implement 
shared 'custom-user-fields', these fields must be 
defined with the same usage and order for all applicable 
accounts, and they must be set as 'single-line edit' 
fields. Related Topic: "Set up any Custom User 
Fields for Shared Users". 
Custom User Fields 
Custom user-fields allow creating up to 20 
additional categories for users (e.g., 
Department, Position, etc.). 
Note: Custom user information categories pertain to all 
users for a specific account. 
These allow sorting lists of users by 
Department, etc. when working in "Grid" view, 
and can also be referenced when issuing time 
and attendance or activity reports. 
Note: Reports cannot be filtered on multi-line fields. Be 
sure to make your selection with this in mind. 
Viewing or Entering These Settings 
Select Custom Fields from the MyTools bar, 
or
 click your site/account button in the tree, 
open  Users 
(click the "+"), and select Custom 
Fields.
