Authority Levels

Each access code has an authority level which determines
the authority the user has to execute certain actions. There
are three pre-defined authorities and eight configurable
authorities.
Installer Authority - Can enter program mode (if parti-
tions/areas are disarmed), gain remote access, do phone test,
do installer zone test, initiate a downloader call, review sta-
tus and event history, control lights and devices, change
installer code, change arming level within one hour of exit-
ing program mode. Cannot change schedules or access
codes (except own), bypass zones, extend arming levels,
change arming levels except as stated above. Installer code
is permanent.
Primary Authority - Primary user for that partition/area.
There is exactly one primary code per partition/area. This
code is permanent and cannot be restricted. Can do every-
thing except enter program mode, do installer zone test, ini-
tiate a downloader call. Primary codes are permanent.
Full Authority - Can do everything the primary user can do
except add/delete/change/list codes of equal or higher author-
ity.
Authority 1 to 8 - Configurable authorities. In general,
authority 1 should be the highest of the configurable authorities
and authority 8 the lowest.

Authority Level Definitions

The three pre-defined and eight configurable authorities
allow you to carry out a specific set of actions which require
an access code and deny others. Whenever one of these
actions is requested from a touchpad, the panel prompts you
for an access code and determines whether the entered code
has sufficient authority. If not, the panel responds with
.
INVALID AUTHORITY
When using a keyswitch to request an arming level change,
no access code is needed and the action is associated with a
zone, not a user.
