Users | Options

General Options

  • Disable User: When selected the user record is disabled, preventing access via keypad or card reader.
  • Show A Greeting Message To User: When enabled the user is shown a greeting upon entering their code on a LCD user station (for example, Good Morning John Smith). Disabling this option takes the user to the area control menu or directly to the main menu. This setting can be overridden by the same option in the users menu group assigned to the access level of the user.
  • Go Directly To The Menu On Login: When enabled the user is taken directly to the main menu and not shown the area control functions. Display of the area control is by default. Enable this option for users who won't normally perform area operations on the keypad.
  • User Can Acknowledge Alarm Memory: When enabled the user is able to acknowledge alarm memory. Alarm memory is stored for each area and will record the last 4 activations. The alarm memory can be viewed from MENU 5 on the keypad and must be enabled to allow acknowledgment to occur. This setting can be overridden by the same option in the menu group.
  • Show Alarm Memory On Login: When enabled the user is shown upon login the memory of any alarms that have occurred on the primary area that the keypad is assigned. This option can be overridden by the same option in the menu group.
  • Turn Off The Primary Area If User Has Access On Login: When enabled the primary area for the keypad that the user logs into will be disarmed automatically.
  • Turn Off The User Area On Login If User Has Access: When enabled the area that is programmed in the user's global area will be turned off when the user logs in to a keypad.
  • Acknowledge System Troubles: When enabled the user is able to acknowledge system trouble conditions from the view menu (MENU 5) on the LCD keypad.
  • Treat User PIN+1 As Duress: When enabled the user can enter a duress code, allowing access but sending a silent alarm to the offsite monitoring station. The duress code is the last digit of a user's PIN plus 1. For example, if the user's PIN is 1234 but the PIN is entered as 1235, it will be processed as a duress code. (Note that the plus 1 counter applies to the last digit only. This means if the user PIN is 1239, the PIN to trigger a duress code would be entered as 1230.)

Advanced Options

  • User Has Super Rights And Can Override Antipassback: When enabled the user is deemed to be a super user, allowing them to override dual code functions and Antipassback violations, and unlock doors in a lockdown situation.
  • User Operates Extended Door Access Function: When enabled door access time is extended, say for entry by people with disabilities.
  • User Loiter Expiry Count Enabled: When enabled the user is included in the loiter area timing calculations. This means the user is allowed access for the period of loiter time set for the area they have entered. The areas used for the loiter time must be configured as loiter area and used as the inside and outside areas for the door. This is an administrative setting and should be edited only by the system administrator.

  • User Can Edit User Settings from Keypad: When enabled the user can add new users, modify user settings and delete users, from a keypad. This should generally be enabled for system administration users only.

    When this option is enabled the user is not able to edit their own PIN code on the keypad, except when prompted due to an expired PIN.

    The user's access level menu group must have the User (2) menu enabled to access the keypad User Menu.

  • User Is A Duress User: When enabled the user is a duress user and will activate the duress trouble input on a keypad and monitoring console. The duress trouble input must be enabled and programmed for the keypad.
  • Rearm Area In Stay Mode: This option is used in conjunction with the User Rearm in Stay Mode option under Area programming. If both User and Area options are enabled, when the user disarms the area and once the rearm period has elapsed the area will automatically rearm in Stay mode.

Dual Custody Options

  • Dual Custody Master: This option is used in conjunction with the Requires Dual Authentication option under the Door Types settings. If the door type requires dual authentication then two users must activate the reader for the door to unlock. The door can be set to require a Dual Custody Master first, then a Dual Custody Provider second, or it can be set to accept any combination of master and provider. This option defines the user as master.
  • Dual Custody Provider: This option is used in conjunction with the Requires Dual Authentication option under the Door Types settings and defines the user as a provider. With this option enabled the user can access a Dual Custody door only if another user with Dual Custody Master enabled has activated the reader first.
