TouchCenter Installation and Setup Guide
5–22
TouchCenter can hold the identity for 10 Users in its memory. If
additional Users are needed, define the additional Users using the
Console Emulation Mode.
Users for the system are programmed in a central user setup location
that provides the specific questions for authorization levels assigned to
different users. You may want these users to be the same, but there are
situations in which you may want a user to have limited capabilities.
These capabilities are defined by the Authority Level assigned to each
user.
Authority Levels
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can
perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are certain
system functions you may be prohibited from performing. The following
information describes the authority levels available in the TouchCenter
and provides the equivalent authority level name that you will find if you
are reading your alarm system manuals. The authority levels available in
the TouchCenter are as follows:
