Users and Holidays Shared

Across Multiple Accounts

Note

: Suite-security keypads and "Communities"

(Shared Users) are not supported at the same time.

Introduction

Beginning with Director V4.2, you can set up

users and/or holidays to apply to multiple

accounts.

Once set up, changes can be made to a

shared user or holiday within a specific

account, and the changes will be copied to

other applicable accounts automatically.

Tip: This is also true for changes made to a shared

holiday (or a shared user changing their PIN) at an LCD

keypad associated with any of the applicable accounts.

Multi-Server Login

: Shared users, etc. pertain to

individual servers (i.e., you can view accounts across

multiple servers, but items cannot be shared across

servers). Related Topic

Folders

Technical Notes

 Beginning with Director V4.7, this feature is

supported with ALL panel feature-set values

higher than 1;

 With Director V4.20 – 4.6x, this feature is

limited to panel feature-set 2, 3, or 4 (1 panel

per account, with up to 1000 users each.);

 With panel firmware V4.2, a user can change

their own PIN at an LCD keypad, but all other

"shared" items and settings can only be edited

through the Director software;

With panel firmware earlier than V4.2:

 All edits made to shared users through an LCD

keypad (including a shared user changing their

own PIN) will be ignored/reset by the software.

 Since authority ID#s are reserved in blocks of

five, and these must be defined within each

account: If one of these is not being used and

is deleted through an LCD keypad, the

software will maintain integrity by sending a "no

areas, no times" version of the authority back

to the panel.

Community Groups (V4.7)

--was "Shared Groups"

Community Groups allow setting up groups of

users and/or holidays to apply to multiple

accounts, while maintaining data integrity for

authorities and other site-specific settings.

Required Permissions

As with all features, applicable permissions are

required to use this feature (for each operator,

and any client PCs).

Notes: Editing a shared user within an account

requires 'edit' permission for 'users' and

'shared

users'. (The same approach applies to holiday

permissions.)

Editing shared items elsewhere requires 'edit'

permission for the applicable type of shared item only.

(Pertains to: "[Management] Community Groups"

and/or

"Account Folders Shared Groups Shared Item".)

Assigning groups to accounts requires permission to

access the specific account folder(s).
