to add cardholders but not controllers or doors.
To add an operator

icon.
2 Select New.
The Operator window appears.
3 Select each tab in turn and enter appropriate information.
4 Click Add.
When viewing operator details the following information can
be entered on the corresponding tab.
Login Name: The type of user (specified by data entry). Specify
a password for the user by selecting Set Password.
Cardholder: The cardholder who is also an operator (specified
by searching for an existing cardholder or selecting Create
New and creating a new cardholder). A cardholder can only
be assigned one set of operator privileges per organizational
unit.
