Using the Security System (cont’d)

User Codes
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order to gain access to various features
and functions. Tuxedo can hold the identity for 10 Users in its memory. If additional Users are needed, define the
additional Users using the Console Emulation Mode.
Users for the system are programmed in a central user setup location that provides the specific questions for authorization
levels assigned to different users. You may want these users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may
want a user to have limited capabilities. These capabilities are defined by the Authority Level assigned each user.
Authority Levels
Authority levels define the system functions a user can perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are
certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. The following information describes the authority levels
that can be assigned through the keypad and provides the equivalent authority level name found in your alarm system
manuals. The authority levels that can be assigned are as follows:
