USER’S GUIDE- 21
PIN
You can add a level of security by requiring PIN numbers in addition to credentials for all users, or
for specific Timezone Intervals. The default displays the PIN number as asterisks in the fields;
however you can choose to show the actual PIN numbers.
To add a PIN Number for a User:
1. Under Credential Settings, click in the field next to PIN. The Set Personal Identification
Number dialog box opens.
2. Select the Show PINs check box if you wish to view the numbers instead of asterisks as
you type them in.
3. Enter a PIN number for the user.
4. Click Finish to save the PIN and exit the dialog box.
Settings
Each facility user will be assigned a user type and access type, depending on the tasks they
perform and the access mode needed to perform those tasks. The system supports four different
types of users: General Users, Managers, Programmers, and Service users. You can have up to
65,000 individual users in the system and they can be of any User Type. User types are briefly
described in the following paragraphs.
General Users
The majority of users will be assigned as General Users. They are allowed entry only when the
access level is set to ID Required. General Users never have access when the reader is in
Lockout.
To assign User Type:
1. In the Settings category, select the field next to User Type.
2. Select a User Type from the drop-down list.
Manager
Managers are one of the most useful types of IDs. This User Type provides the capability to
change the access level of a reader with a few simple key presses. These changes can and will be
overridden by the time schedule or another manager or programmer. A user with Manager
privileges is always allowed access to a reader. For example, when a facility requires an
individual to have access at all hours of the day without giving any extra privileges, that individual
will be assigned Manager Privileges.
