MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide
500-9041 v4.1
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.
For details, refer to "Operator Permissions".
Up to four 'profiles' can be set up for each
authority, allowing permissions to be
customized across different area groupings.
Reference Notes:
Authorities also determine which Control & Status
selections will be accessible to each operator (since
'Control & Status' requires entering a valid user
ID+PIN).
For details on assigning authorities to users/entrants,
refer to the section on "Users".
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, refer to the descriptions under "Special
Attributes".
For an overview on how user-authority settings operate
relative to area settings and door settings, refer to
"Understanding Access-Controlled Areas".
