Adding/Editing a User

  1. Select Users > Users.

    A list of configured users is displayed.

  2. Click the Add User button or click the Edit button of the required user.

  3. Enter a User ID that is not currently being used. If you enter an ID that is already used, an ‘ID Unavailable’ message is displayed.
  4. Provide a User Name (maximum 16 characters and case sensitive).

  5. To automatically generate a User PIN for a new user, click the Generate PIN button. Change the PIN if required. Enter 0 if PIN is not required.

    Note: To comply with INCERT approvals, the user’s PIN code must contain more than 4 digits.

  6. You can also limit access to the system for this user by ticking the Date Limit box and entering a To and From date in the date fields.

    User Alerts displays the status of the user’s PIN. For example, It displays the number of days remaining before the PIN expires, if Periodic changes are enabled in the system PIN Policy.

  7. You can enable the Alarm Access option to grant time-limited access to the system for this user within a specific window.

    The time limits for this option are set in the System Timers page. Go to Configuration > System > System Timers to configure this option. See Timers.

      In normal mode any user with this attribute selected is unable to access the system.
  8. Select the appropriate user profile (see Adding/Editing User Profiles) for this user.
  9. Select Duress Enable for this user if required. The number of PINs allocated for duress (PIN +1 or PIN+2) is set in system options (see Options).
  The Duress option is only available on this page if User Duress is enabled for the system in System Options. If Duress is enabled for this user, then consecutive user PINs for other users (for example, 2906, 2907) are not permitted, as entering this PIN from the keypad would activate a user duress event.

Description

Card Number

Enter card number. Enter 0 to unassign this card.

Void Card

Check to temporarily disable this card.

Extended Time

Extend door timers when this card is present.

PIN bypass

Access a door without PIN on a door with PIN reader.

Priority

Priority cards are stored locally in the door controllers and will grant access in case of a technical fault where the door controller cannot communicate with the control panel.

The maximum number of priority users is:

  • SPC4xxx – all users
  • SPC5xxx – 512

Escort

The escort feature enforces privileged card holders to escort other card holders through specific doors. If this feature is enabled on a door, a card with the “escort” right has to be presented first, to allow other cardholders without this right to open the door. The time period in which cardholders are able to present their cards after a card with escort right was presented, can be configured per door.

Custodian

The custodian feature enforces a card holder with custodian privilege to always be inside a room (door group) when other card holders are inside.

The custodian must be the first to enter the room. Only if a custodian is in the room other cardholders are allowed to enter. The cardholder with the custodian right will not be allowed to exit until all non-custodian cards left the room.

Identifies this card holder as a custodian. The user with the custodian attribute has to be the first who enters a door group which requires a custodian card holder and has to be the last that is leaving this door group.
