B.5 General Manager Authorization (GMA)
Purpose: Grants access to all functions of the FDU.
Intended for the highest level of user, including the Chief of Security, the General
Manager and the System Administrator.
Authorization #s: 181 to 200
Minimum keycard: General Manager Authorization
Shortcut: Swipe authorized keycard, press 6 and 2
Expiry: None
Notes:
It is extremely important to make two spare GMA keycards in case of accidental
erasure of the GMA keycard in general use. The spare GMA keycards must have two
different authorization numbers that are not used for any other GMA keycard in the
facility. These spare keycards should be stored in a safe. If it is necessary to use one
of the spare GMA keycards, immediately make another spare and lock it in the safe.
B.6 POS Authorization
Purpose: Grants access to the functions of the Point-of-Sale Verifier mode of the FDU. There
are no menus associated with the POS mode. Simply swipe the POS Authorization
keycard to put the FDU in POS Verifier mode that can be used to verify a guest’s
keycard in order to post charges to their room.
Authorization #s: 1 to 200
Minimum keycard: Master Authorization
Shortcut: Swipe authorized keycard, press 6 and 2
Expiry: None
Notes: The POS verifier must be enabled in the FDU features.
POS Authorization keycards are completely separate from the other Authorization
levels. A POS Authorization keycard can share the same Authorization number as an
FDA, PA, MA, BA or GMA keycard without cancelling the other keycard, and vice-
versa.
