(ex. a user with access to only partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.) • The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level, that user must first be deleted, then added again. • A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he is assigned. • User numbers must be entered as 2-digit entries. Single digit user numbers must be preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, etc.). Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers. • Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with any DURESS code. Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha keypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode - Please Stand By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.

SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS
General Rules on
Authority Levels and
Changes
A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER authority than
which he is assigned.
A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the user adding the code
has access. (ex. a user with access to only partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)
The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add A User" procedure. To
change a user's authority level, that user must first be deleted, then added again.
A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he is assigned.
• User numbers must be entered as 2-digit entries. Single digit user numbers must be
preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, etc.). Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with any DURESS code.
Note:
When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha keypads in that partition will
display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those
keypads will be ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
