Managing Access Levels in the ATRIUM software

Managing access levels in the ATRIUM software

Introduction

Access levels determine which areas in the building a user will have access to and during which schedules. This is done by enabling the access level and then assigning a schedule to each area.
Alert
In order to define access levels, you must first create Areas and define Schedules. Refer to the respective articles for more information.

From the Dashboard tab, click on the Access Levels icon. From this page, access levels may be added, edited, and deleted.



By default the following access levels are defined:
  1. Access Level Always: This access level has the Schedule Always assigned to all areas meaning that the access is valid 24 hours a day, 365 days a year including any programmed Holidays. This access level cannot be modified or deleted.
  2. Access Level Programming: This access level has the Learning Mode schedule assigned to all areas meaning that the access is by default valid 24 hours a day, 365 days a year including any programmed Holidays. This access level can be modified.
