Threat Levels

Threat Levels represent different operational modes for the entire system, which can, for
example, allow an Administrator to rapidly secure all unlocked doors and restrict access to
specific groups. These modes may have different rules for which users can access which
resources, what devices do (or don't do), and whether measures that normally relax system
security (e.g. doors unlocking on a schedule) continue to do so. An important distinction
about Threat Levels is that Threat Levels are usually tied to a range. An example of this
would be that if your system had 5 threat levels with 1 being normal and 5 being the most
severe, threat levels allow you to create scenarios where certain events occur at 'threat
level 3 or lower'. Thus, threat levels are not as distinct and compartmentalized as simple
modes as a concept.
Once a threat level is changed, it will remain in effect until manually changed again.
Changing a threat levels is displayed on the Dashboard page. It is also tracked in the
Activity Log, reflecting the time and Administrator who made the change.
