Supplementary Information for Adding Passcodes

Use the information contained in this Supplement to help you add user passcodes.
User Authority Levels
Your security company uses the information contained on this page to establish authority levels
for system users. For each of the 1- 15 authority levels, each command center function is either
enabled (E), disabled (blank), or Passcode enabled (P). A function that is enabled (E) is available
to all users. A function that is passcode enabled (P) is only available to users assigned an authority
level that includes that function. If you do not want a particular command included in a given
authority level, leave it blank.
If you are having trouble understanding the concept of authority levels, try this simple exercise.
Refer to the column titled E/P on the next page. Notice that your security technician has marked
some of the cells in this column with the letter "E", others the letter "P", while others are left blank.
An "E" indicates that this function is enabled for all authority levels. A "P" indicates that the
function is passcode protected. Look across the same row, and notice that some of the cells in the
authority level area have the letter "E". For each authority level in which an "E" appears, this
function is enabled (with a passcode required). A blank cell in the E/P column means that this
function is unavailable for any authority level.
Under the heading Authority Level, you'll see columns 1-15, representing the 15 authority levels.
Now look at the column labeled 1. Following down this column, you'll see that some cells are
blank while some contain the letter "E", which stands for enabled. Wherever there is an "E", it
means that that function is available to users with an authority level of 1.
User Access Windows
Use the information on this page to describe access windows for users. An access window is a
period of time that is defined in which a user has access to the security system. If the user attempts
to use the system during a time period that falls outside the assigned access window, access will be
denied.
Passcode Worksheet
The passcode worksheet presents the information discussed above onto one page, and also
includes the user's ID number, assigned passcode, and his or her name. Think of the passcode
worksheet as the page that "puts it all together."
An important piece of information included in the passcode worksheet is the listing of areas to
which the user has access, along with the authority level assignment for each of those areas.
