46 PRT-KLCD Protege Alphanumeric LCD Keypad User Manual | April 2011
8 Area Groups
Area groups are used to define what areas/partitions a user will be able to view, arm and disarm. An area group
is assigned to an access level (see page 38) to restrict the ability for a user to control an area or
partition. The
Protege system supports up to 250 area groups.
8.1 All Areas Group
The all areas group is a special area group that allows access to all areas within the system. The all areas group
is assigned to the master access level by default.
Changing the all areas group is not recommended as it will restrict access to the areas used by the
Master Access Level.
8.2 Programming Area Groups
Area groups should be programmed so that they are used for a group of users, for example administration,
warehouse and management where the groups can clearly be identified by the areas that they need to view, arm
and disarm.
Programming Area Groups
