What is the difference in the authority levels for arm/disarm codes?
Most systems installed by THE ALARM COMPANY that use authority levels have two authority levels minimum (authority level one and authority level two). A code that is assigned with authority level one is usually the homeowner or business owner’s code. This level, in addition to allowing an individual to arm or disarm a system, allows access to entry level programming, such as changing the clock, date, time and adding or deleting user codes. A code that is assigned with authority level two is a code most often given to the alarm panel owner’s children, relatives, caretakers, employees, etc. This level of access is used primarily to turn the system on and off. Some systems allow you to assign individual authority levels for the individual areas of your security system. Check with your alarm systems user guide for the exact functions that each level will allow and to see if you can add additional levels if needed.
