Chapter 3: System functions

User groups

A user group allows users to control the Advisor Advanced system alarm options
(also called alarm control). This provides flexibility when determining a user's
access to, and control of, the system.
A user can have more than one user group assigned. In this case, if any of those
groups grants permission to a particular option, the user has this permission.
For example: A user has two user groups assigned: "R&D" and "Managers". If
the "Managers" user group allows inhibiting but the "R&D" group does not, the
user is allowed to inhibit a zone.
Note: The system always includes an installer group. This group can be
assigned to only one user, the default installer user.
User group types
User group type defines what user group options are allowed for the user, which
belongs to a group of this type. For example, a guard does not have a permission
to add users, while a normal user cannot change date and time.
There are the following types of user groups:
• Normal user
• Supervisor
• Installer
• Guard
• Timed Unset / ATM
• Reset only
• Log
These types are provided to comply with EN 50131. User group type defines the
default user group options, as well as allowed changes.
Note:
Only the Installer user group has type Installer. Also, this is only possible
type for this group.
User group type is set in "3.2.n.2 User group type" on page 168.
Table 16 on page 63 denotes default and allowed user group options (user
privileges).
Note:
Not all of read-only options are visible for particular user group types.
