To create an access level, do the following:

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

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

   1. Right-click in the free area of the access level list and select Create root level item in the function 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. 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. In the window, do the following:
   
   

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

      The name must 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 must not contain the following characters: < | >.

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

      1. Right-click in a free area of the list of access rules and in the Add link function 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. The suitable access points are searched automatically as you specify the search parameters. The search is case insensitive. To search and select an access point, do the following:

         • Select type of access point from the Type drop-down list. The default value is All types of access points.
         • Select the value from the Area drop-down list to search for an access point by area.
         • Select the value from the Region drop-down list to search for an access point by region.
         • Select the value from the Exit region drop-down list to search for an access point by exit region.
         • Select the value from the Entry region drop-down list to search for an access point by entry region.
         • Enter the name of the access point or its part in the Name field to search for an access point by its name.
         • Enter the ID of the access point in the ID field to search for an access point by its ID.
         • After completing the selection of access points, click the OK button.
      5. To select an access point from the list of available access points, double-click the required object.

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

      7. You can deselect all selected access points by right-clicking the parent object to open the Deselect all visible function menu.
         

         The 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.
   Access levels have two types of display: Tree and List.
   The tree of access levels looks like this.
   
   The list of access levels looks like this.
   
   

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

   To delete all selected access points, click the button.

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

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

   Time schedules are created and configured on the Time zones tab of the Access Manager window—see Working with time zones in the Access Manager software module. You can also use the system time zones "Always" and "Never".

9. Set the Arm checkbox to arm the access point after a user presents an access card.
10. Set the Disarming checkbox to disarm the access point after a user presents an access card.

11. If it's not required to send access cards to a controller after a user presents an access card, set the Do not load checkbox.

    Functions of arming, disarming and sending access cards to a controller must be supported by hardware.

    Function of the Do not load checkbox can differ depending on the integration module that you 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. As a result, the created access level will be displayed in the list of access levels.
    

    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.
