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:
Level 2 Manager:
Level 3 Operator A:
Level 4 Operator B:
Level 5 Operator C:
Level 6 Duress:
