User and Authority Group
A User of Flex series access control software is a person who operates the software at
any user interface. Each user is defined by four properties: name, login name, password
and the authority group to which the user belongs.
The name should be the real name of the user. The login name is the identity that users
need to type into the login dialog to enter the system. The password is the password
that users need to provide when they login the system. The authority group will be
introduced below.
Please note that users are different from cardholders. Cardholders are the people who
enter or exit from the physical access control system, like a building or an area. But users
operate the software to monitor or configure the physical access control system.
The authority group defines the user’s access level over the operations in the software.
Different authority groups have different operating privileges in the software.
Flex series access control software offers five authority groups: Super, System, Operate,
Query, and View. There is no limit to the number of users in each group.
Super: Users in the super group can execute all the functionalities of the software. The
main functions include the user and authority group management, controller
configuration, holidays setting, access group setting, door zone setting, card
management, database backup and restore, etc.
