Appendix A –
USER TYPES
Master User
This user is able to carry out all user actions. A master user can, for example,
set or unset the system and access all options in the user menus, including the
ability to add or delete other users.
A master user can edit any user's name, and for all but other master users, edit a
user's type and partitions (if applicable).
All master users always belong to all partitions.
There is always (at least) one master user (User 001), which cannot be deleted by
any user.
Admin
This user is similar to a master user, but is limited to one or more partitions.
Admin users can set or unset the system and have access to most options in the
user menu. They can add, delete or edit other users (including admin users)
belonging to the same partition(s), but cannot add, edit or delete master users.
Admin users can assign other users to any of the partitions that the admin user
belongs to.
Normal user
A normal user can set and unset the system, but has access to a limited number
of user options and may be limited to one or more partitions. A normal user
can, for example, omit zones, change their own access code, view the log and
operate outputs, but cannot add or delete users.
Partition user
A partition user is similar to a normal user, but has the added restriction that
they must set and unset their allocated partitions from keypads that are also
assigned to those partitions.
Duress Code
A duress code user can set or unset the system, but whenever the access code is
used, the control unit can, for example, notify the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
A duress code has no access to the user menu and cannot have a remote control.
Note:
The Installer must program your system to provide this feature, and
you must agree with your alarm installer and the ARC what action the ARC
should take on receiving a duress message.
Guard
A guard user can only unset the system when it is in alarm and set it again. A
guard user has no access to the user menu.
A guard user can be allocated to one or more partitions, which are the only parts
of the system that they can set and unset.
Set Only
This type of user can be allocated to one or more partitions and is able to set the
system, but not unset it. A set-only user has no access to the user menu.
Set / Unset
This type of user can be allocated to one or more partition and is able to set and
unset the system. A Set/Unset User has no access to the user menu.
Shunt Code
This type of user code is used only for activating and deactivating shunt groups
When the user's access code is used, all zones in the shunt group assigned to
this user are shunted.
Easy Set
This type of user sets or unsets all partitions allocated to the user. When the
user's access code or remote control is used:
•
if any partition assigned to the user is currently set, all are unset.
•
if all partitions assigned to the user are currently unset, all are set (even if
there are alerts present). No partitions are set if any has an active zone.
