Programming the FingerKey

When you enroll users, the reader assigns an authority level of 0 (zero); this gives the
user access through the door, but, as long as you have set your supervisors to a higher
security level, it doesn’t let the user change reader settings; this is appropriate for most
users. Change authority for supervisory personnel who are responsible for adding other
users or maintaining the security system.
The authority levels give this access:

See page 16 for more about authority levels. See page 32 for more on what each menu
contains.
Until you set higher authority levels for your supervisory users, the highest security level
assigned gives full access to all of the reader menus. This means that if every user in the
reader has an authority level of 0 (zero), then every user will be able to use the reader’s
command menus because they all have the highest level assigned. Only when you’ve
created users with higher authority levels does the authority level of 0 prevent users from
accessing the reader’s menus.
