18  ZeroWire Reference Guide 
User Permission 1 
There are a total 16 unique permissions that can be configured in Menu 11 – 
Permissions. 
User permissions determine what level of access and functionality a user has 
when interacting with the ZeroWire system. This includes what menus they can 
see, what areas they can see, areas they can arm / disarm / reset, perform 
special area functions of timed disarm / man down / guard tour, what actions they 
can use, and what channel to report on. 
User type must be set to Custom to apply the permissions programmed. 
Otherwise the user type will be applied. 
Permission Schedule 1 
At default the user permission will always be active for the custom user. 
Assigning a permission schedule will limit when that user has that level of access 
and functionality.  
ZeroWire allows each user to be allocated with up to 4 user permissions and 
permission schedules. This provides a high level of flexibility and user 
permissions can change based on time and date, or even certain system 
conditions when combined with actions. 
User permissions are numbered from 1 to 4 where permission 1 is the highest 
priority and permission 4 is the lowest priority. If user permission 1 schedule is 
not valid then user permission 2, 3 and 4 are checked in sequence until a valid 
schedule can be applied.  
Higher priority permissions replace lower priority level permissions when they 
become active. Only one permission can be active at any time. Permissions have 
a logic OR function. 
IMPORTANT: If permission 1 is active due to a valid schedule, permission 2 will 
never become active. Make sure to assign/program permissions in the right 
order.
