236 Module 132: User Management | Managing Users
Managing Users
A User is a person that requires access to the facility being controlled by the access control system. They
identify themselves to the system using credentials such as access cards, PIN and biometric profiles.
Once a user has been added, they can then be assigned access to doors, areas, elevator floors and menu
groups via Access Levels.
Training Exercise
Throughout the rest of the programming modules, you will be guided through setting up a basic system. Follow
the instructions in this workbook to create your Acme Engineering site. Review questions will be based on what
you have set up on your system.
Access Levels
Access Levels are used to control what users can do, where they can go, and when they can do these things.
They determine the doors, areas, elevator floors and menu groups a user has access to. The tidiest way to
define this access is using groups
Creating an Access Level
We'll spend more time on access levels later, but for now we are going to create a new access level for our
installers, with full access to the system:
1. Navigate to Users | Access Levels and click Add
2. Enter a name for the access level - we'll use Installers - and click Save
