ZeroWire Reference Guide 17
User Type
User Type provides quick configuration of user permissions. The available user
types are:
• Standard: Standard users can only change their own PIN codes and cannot
change the settings of the system. They can arm and disarm areas they have
access to.
• Master: Master users can change Standard user PIN codes and Master user
PIN codes, and can access all menus except installation programming.
• Engineer: Engineer can only access installation programming menus, but no
user programming menus. This user can always arm a system but only
disarm areas they armed.
• Master Engineer: Master users can create or manage Engineer type users,
and can access all menus.
• Arm Only: Users can only arm selected areas.
• Duress: Duress code will send a duress report to the specified Channel
Groups under System Event Reporting. The duress code does not trigger an
audible alarm.
• Custom: ZeroWire will apply user permissions and user permission
schedules. This requires advanced programming. First create a permission
using an engineer account (default “installer”), then assign it to a user with a
master account (default “User 1”). A Custom user is able to modify the
configuration of themselves or another user if:
• Permission Option ‘Remote Access’ is enabled (for web page access)
• Permission Menu ‘Users’ is enabled to allow them to assign user
permissions. Otherwise they will only be able to change their own PIN
code.
• They have area access to at least one area of the user being modified.
This does not check permission options.
