Setting Up Access Groups
Access groups for the VistaKey are set using Access Group Programming. To reach access
group programming, enter #93 Menu Mode Programming and press the [0] key until the
following prompt is displayed.
ACCESS GRP PGM
1=YES 0=NO
0
Press 1 or 0.
If you press 1, the keypad displays the following prompt.
When you have completed Access Group Programming, press 0; the
alarm panel control advances to Event/Action Programming.
Note that when assigning cards to a new access group, the cards in the new access group will
not be functional until the new access group is enabled (via #77, time schedules, etc.).
ACCESS GROUP
01-08, 00=QUIT
01
Enter a number from 01 to 08 for the group number to be
programmed, or 00 to quit Access Group Programming.
Each cardholder must belong to at least 1 access group. The access
group provides the cardholder with certain privileges afforded to all
cardholders that belong to that access group. If a cardholder belongs
to more than 1 access group, he is afforded all the privileges of all
the access groups he belongs to. The access groups determine which
access point(s) the cardholder has access to and at what times
according to the schedule by which his access group is enabled.

Access Group Number
01 EXEC PRIV?
NOT ENABLED
0
Press 1 (enable) or 0 (disable) to define whether the group has
executive privileges.
Enabling Executive Privilege enables all cardholders in this group
to access any access point and disarm the access point’s partition (if
armed) at any time regardless of whether the cardholder’s access
group is enabled via scheduling or whether his access group is
enabled to enter or exit through any of the access points. The only
reason that a cardholder with executive privilege would be
prevented from gaining access through an access point is if his card
has expired via usage or date.
Disabling executive privilege allows
cardholders entry through access points only if the access point has
been programmed to accept the cardholder’s access group (see
Access Point Programming section); the cardholder’s access group is
enabled at the time of the card swipe (via scheduling, event/action
or action selector), PIN entry (code+#73), or RF button remote
depression; AND the cardholders card has not expired.
NOTE: Executive privilege for an access group will not have any
effect when a VistaKey module is operating in Reduced Capability
Mode (RCM). Only executive privilege assigned to a cardholder will
provide all of the executive privileges described during RCM.
