Profiles
On this Page:
In Profiles, you can add, edit, and delete profiles. Profiles are available only on some systems, typically in commercial settings.
Profiles provide custom permissions for different employee groups in your system. To use profiles, create a profile, then assign the profile to users, granting them the permissions defined in the profile.
Create a Profile
Go to Profiles.
Select the
Plus icon.Enter a name for the profile.
Enter values for Number, Rearm Delay, Inactive User Audit Days, and Output Group (available only on some systems).
Number—The identification number automatically assigned to the profile. Leave this number as assigned unless you plan on using custom profile number configurations. Manually changing this number can cause conflicts when managing multiple systems in Admin. The range is 1 – 99.
Rearm Delay—The number of minutes the system waits to rearm after an area is manually disarmed outside of a schedule. This applies only to areas with automatic rearming enabled. Enter 0 for no delay. The range is 0-720 minutes.
Inactive User Audit Days—The number of days a user code can remain unused before the user code becomes inactive.
Output Group—The number assigned to the output group. Assign outputs groups to a profile, allowing an entire group of outputs to turn on or off as required, for example when door access is granted.
Enable the desired Arm/Disarm and Access permissions in Areas. This provides profile members permission to arm and disarm the enabled areas and the ability to access the enabled areas with their codes and credentials. The permissions in this section supersedes the Arm and Disarm and Door Access permissions in Profile Options.
Enable schedules in Access Schedules. This provides profile members with the defined permissions only during the selected scheduled times.
Select +Add in Private Doors, then select up to four doors to provide profile members permission to access the selected doors. Only doors that have been configured as private doors by your security provider are displayed.
Enable permissions in Profile Options to provide profile members permission to the options. Select the
Information icon next to an option to learn about each option or refer to Profile Options. Select Save.
