A—Add Administrative User
Syntax and Parameters
a <user_id>, [secret_key], <authentication_mode>
Description
Use the Add Administrative User command to add an administrative user to the
list of users on the RPSD Key device. The administrative user can access the
RPSD Key to alter Key parameters. If AUX Security is enabled, the administrative
user must enter a password (or use a PassKey device) associated with the user
ID.
Up to 60 RPSD/Key and administrative users may exist at any one time, ten of
whom are permanent RPSD/Key users; they cannot be changed.
If you leave the [secret_key] field blank, the [secret_key] may be generated by
the Lock device or may be input as a 20-digit octal number.
