To create access level, do the following:

1. Go to the Access levels tab of the Access Manager window.
   

2. There are two ways to create a new access level:

   1. Right-click in the free area of the access level list and select Create root level item (1) in the functional menu. In this case, the access level will be created in the root list of access levels.
      
   2. Right-click the folder and select Create access level item (1). In this case, the access level will be created in the selected folder.
      
3. If you select any of the commands, the Edit access level window will open, enabling you with the following actions:
   
   

   1. In the Name field (1), enter name of the access level.

      The name should be unique. If an access level with the same name has already been created in the system, then the attempt to save will fail and a corresponding message will be displayed. Also, the name should not contain the following characters: < | >.

      
      

   2. In the free area of the list of access rules (2), add a rule that links the access point with the time zone:

      1. Right-click on a free area of the list of access rules and in the Add link of another type functional menu that opens, select the required reader type from the list.
         

      2. If there is only one access point of this type, or if there is only one available access point from several access points of the same type, then it will be added automatically.

      3. If there are several access points of this type, then the Search access point window will open, which will display all available access points of this type.
         

      4. To search and select an access point, do the following:

         The suitable access points are searched automatically as you specify the search parameters.

         
         

         1. Select type of access point from the Type drop-down list if it's required (1).
         2. Select the location of the access point from the Area drop-down list if it's required (2).
         3. Select the location of the access point from the Region drop-down list if it's required (3).
         4. Enter name of access point or its part in the Name field if it's required (4).
         5. Enter ID of required access point in the ID field if it's required (5).
         6. After completing the selection of access points, click the OK button (6).
      5. To select an access point from the list of available access points, double-click on the required object.

      6. To select all available access points of this type at once, right-click on the parent object to open the Select all visible functional menu (1).
         

      7. You can deselect all selected access points by right-clicking on the parent object to open the Deselect all visible functional menu (1).
         

         
         

         Select all visible and Deselect all visible commands can be applied only to those access points that are currently displayed in the list of access points. Selected access points are highlighted in bold in the list.

         
         

4. You will go back to the Edit access level window. The panel for configuring the access level will be displayed at the bottom.
   

5. Access point specified in the search is selected in the Access point drop-down list (1). You can change it if necessary.
6. If it is necessary to search for access point, click the button and go to step 3bii. You can also open the search window using the Add button (1), by right-clicking on the selected access point to open the context menu.
   

7. From the Time schedule drop-down list (3), select time zone during which access through the selected access point will be allowed to users with configured access level.  

8. If it is necessary to search for time zone, click the button (4) (see Working with the Search for time zone window).

   Time zones are created and configured on the Time zones tab of the Access Manager window - see the Working with time zones in the Access Manager software module section. Also it's possible to use system time zones "Always" and "Never".

   
   

9. Set the Arm checkbox to arm access point after presenting access card by user (5).
10. Set the Disarming checkbox to disarm access point after presenting access card by user (6).

11. If it's not required to send access cards to controller after presenting access card by user, set the Do not load checkbox (7).

    Functions of arming, disarming and sending access cards should be supported by hardware.

    
    

    Function of the Do not load checkbox can differ depending on the integration module in use. For example, in PERCo-S-20 integration this checkbox enables commission mode.

    
    

12. Repeat steps 3-11 for all required links.

13. Click the Save button (8).
    As a result, the created access level will be displayed in the list.
    

    When the user configuration is written to the controller/terminal, only those users will be written whose access level contains at least one access point of the corresponding controller/terminal. For example, if a user has an access point of terminal 1 specified in the access levels, but no access point of terminal 2 is specified, then this user will be written only to terminal 1.

    
    

The creation of the access level is complete.
