DATABASE MENU ACTWinPro
User View
The user view is a window into the user information stored in the ACTWinPro
database. Using the record navigation buttons on the toolbar or the Record
menu, individual users may be selected and viewed. The right side of the screen
displays information about the selected user and allows it to be edited.
User Number
The user number is a unique number between 1 and 65000. It is the record
number of the user in the ACTWinPro database. The field is usually read-only; it
may be altered only when creating a new record.
First & Last Names
These fields contain the forename & surname of the user. The name will be
displayed in logged event lists and queries for identification purposes. Although
the combined name may be up to 65 characters in length, only the first 16
characters will be visible locally on the door controller LCD. If the combined
name exceeds this length, the first name is automatically abbreviated when
downloaded. The name fields are searchable via the User Search Dialog.
Group
The group field is a drop-down list box containing the group to which the user
belongs. This determines the access rights for the user. Each group contains a
combination of timezone and doorgroup pairs, which determine the doors the
user is allowed through and at what times.
Valid From & Valid To
The Valid From box shows the date from which the user is allowed access.
Access is denied to the user before this date. Access will be granted to the user
after midnight on the Valid From date. If the box is unchecked then access will be
allowed up to the Valid To date.
The Valid To box shows the last day that access will be allowed to the user. After
this date, access will be denied. If the box is unchecked, then access will be
allowed indefinitely from the Valid From date.
Identification
The Identification box shows which cards and/or PIN codes are valid for the
currently displayed user. Depending on the configuration of the system in the
Card Manager, one or more cards may be allowed for each user.
