User groups 
3.2 User groups 
 
The User groups program block is used to record information about user groups. 
What is a user group? 
A user group allows users to control the Advisor Advanced system alarm options 
(also called alarm control). This provides flexibility when determining a user’s 
access to, and control of, the system. 
A user can have more than one user group assigned. In this case, if any of those 
groups grants permission to a particular option, the user has this permission. 
For example: A user has two user groups assigned: “R&D” and “Managers”. If 
the “Managers” user group allows inhibiting but the “R&D” group does not, the 
user is allowed to inhibit a zone. 
Note: The system always includes an installer group. This group can be 
assigned to only one user, the default installer user.
