SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS
Authority Levels Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform. Depending on your authority, there are certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. There are seven authority levels, each having certain system restrictions.
Level 1 Master: Can perform all system functions in assigned partitions and can add, delete or change Manager and Operator level users. Master codes are added by the Installer. Can also change own code.
Level 2 Manager: Can perform system functions in assigned partitions and can add, delete or change Operator level users. Can also change own code.
Level 3 Operator A: Can perform system functions in assigned partitions but cannot add or delete other users.
Level 4 Operator B : Same as Operator A, except Operator B cannot bypass zones of protection.
Level 5 Operator C : Can arm the system in assigned partitions but cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with this code. Typically assigned to someone who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain times (such as a babysitter).
Level 6 Duress: Can arm and disarm the system, but also sends a silent panic alarm to
the central station, if that service is connected.
Level 7 Limited Use : Can arm and disarm the system, but only for a predetermined number of times, after which, this code automatically expires. The actual usage count is set by using the #84 command discussed later in this section.
To view your authority level and system capabilities (alpha keypads only):
1. Enter your security code + ✱ + ✱ . The alpha keypad will display the partition(s)
that you are authorized to operate, and your user number and authority level in each partition.
