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 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. 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 enter name of the access level (1).

      The name should be unique. If an access level with this name has already been created in the system, then while saving, a corresponding message will be displayed and the access level will not be saved. Also, the name should not contain the following characters: < | >.

      
      

   2. Add link between the access point and the time zone. This can be done in two ways either:

      1. If it's required to add link for access point of new type, click the right mouse button in free area of access rules list and in the opened functional menu select the Add item and go to step 4. If there is only one access point for which link is not assigned, go to step 4.
         
         

         If links for all created readers of this type are assigned in the access level, the message about failure to create new link will display because only one link can be added for each reader.

         
         

      2. If it's required to add link for reader of such type for which links are already exist in the list, click the right mouse button on the name of link and in the opened functional menu select the Add link of the same type item and go to step 4. If there is only one access point of this type for which link is not assigned, go to step 4.
         

4. When type of rule is selected, the Search access point window will be opened. In this window all access point are grouped by object types in the ACFA Intellect software. To search for and select an access point, you must do the following:
   
   
   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. As a result, a list of access points that meet the entered parameters will be displayed (6).

   7. Double-click the required access points. If the parent object contains several access points, then it is possible to select/deselect all visible access points under the parent object at once:

      • To select all visible access points, right-click on the parent object and select the Select all visible item (7).

      • To deselect all selected access points, right-click on the parent object and select the Deselect all visible item (8).

        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.

        
        

   8. Click OK button when access points are selected (9).

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

6. Access point specified in the search is selected in the Access point drop-down list (see step 4) or the first from free access points of selected type. Select the access point through which access will be allowed with configured access level from the Access point drop-down list if it's required (1).
   Click the  button and go to step 4 if it's required to search for access point.

7. From the Time zone drop-down list select time zone during which access through the selected access point will be allowed to users with configured access level (2).  
   Click the  button if it's required to search for required time zone - see the Working with the Search for time zone window section.

   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".

   
   

8. Set the Arm checkbox to arm access point after presenting access card by user (3).
9. Set the Disarm checkbox to disarm access point after presenting access card by user (4).

10. If it's not required to send access cards to controller after presenting access card by user, set the Do not load checkbox (5).

    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.

    
    

11. Repeat steps 3-10 for all required links.

12. Click the Save button (6).
    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.
