About Users
A user is a person who is able to enter an access code at a keypad to
perform an action, such as to set or unset the system, raise a duress alarm
or gain access to the user options.
User options are available for carrying out tasks such as omitting zones,
viewing the log, testing the system and switching outputs on or off. For a
full list of available user options, please refer to the User Menu Map on
page 31.
When the system is new, there is only one user: the default master user,
who has full access to perform any action that a user is able to do and
access all user options. The master user can add new users, and while
doing so, specify the user's type, which determines the actions the user can
carry out.
The control unit identifies each user by a unique access code (page 12),
which contains 4 or 6 digits, depending on how the installer has set up the
system.
The available user types are as follows:
Master user – This user is able to carry out all user actions. A master
user can, for example, set or unset the system and access all options
in the user menus, including the ability to add or delete other users.
A master user can edit any user's name, and for all but other master
users, edit a user's type and partitions.
In a partitioned system, all master users always belong to all partitions.
There is always (at least) one master user (User 001), which cannot
be deleted by any user.
Admin (partitioned system only) – This user is similar to a master
user, but is limited to one or more partitions.
Admin users can set or unset the system and have access to most
options in the user menu (see the User Menu Map on page 31). They
can add, delete or edit other users (including admin users) belonging
to the same partition(s), but cannot add, edit or delete master users.
Admin users can assign other users to any of the partitions that the
admin user belongs to.
Normal user – A normal user can set and unset the system, but has
access to a limited number of user options. A normal user can, for
example, omit zones, change their own access code, add their own
