Authority Plus: For a permanent user, this allows
assigning an optional second authority to apply during
a specific date/time range. This pertains to users
associated with an individual account (i.e., not shared
users).
- Authority Plus: This sets an additional /
temporary 'authority' profile to apply to the user
during the selected date/time range.
Notice: During the selected date/time range, the user
will have authorities as provided through their "System
Authority" (previous), AND as provided through the
temporary authority selected here. When this second
authority expires, the user/card will revert to
'permanent' with authorities as per the "System
Authority" only.
For details on setting up authorities, refer to
"Authorities for Users / Entrants".
- Valid On: The beginning date/time that this
user's card, and ID/PIN can be used (or "Now /

Tip: You can change the dates manually, or click the
arrow to select from a pop-up calendar. To set the
times (hours), click within the 'hours' setting, and use
the up/down arrow keys to adjust.
Note: Time values (hours) apply only with specified
validation and invalidation dates for periods of less
than 6 months.
- Invalid On: The expiry date/time for this user's
card, and ID/PIN (or "Forever / Permanent").

The Photo-Badging Option
With the photo-badging feature, personnel
photos (and signatures) can be captured and
included on the screen for each user.
Selections are also provided for printing
photos and other information on cards, as well
as designing the layout for the information and
graphics to appear on sets of cards.
The ability to capture or link images is a standard
feature, while designing and printing cards is optional--
subject to your software licensing.
This feature works with many common types of capture
devices and card printers (as discussed in the computer
requirements section).
