Security Codes and Authority Levels (cont’d)

Authority Levels

Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. In summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system restrictions as shown below.

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.

Level 2 Manager: Can perform system functions in assigned partitions, and can add, delete or change Operator level users.

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. This code is typically assigned to someone who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain times (such as a baby-sitter).

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.
