Security Level Definition |
Security level refers to the permissions granted to an operator to access EntraPass logical components (desktops, card information, etc.), as well as to perform some actions on those components.
NOTE: You have to program the appropriate security levels if you want to limit operator access to commands and/or options of the system menu.
It is possible to customize an operator security level; the system allows you to create up to 250 security levels. Each operator has a separate login name, password and a corresponding security level. The password is case-sensitive. There are three operators and security levels already configured in EntraPass. These are: Installer, Administrator and Guard.
• Installer:
○ Login name and password : kantech
○ Security level : By default, a user defined as Installer has full access to all the system menus. He/she can read and edit system components and has unrestricted access to the system.
• Administrator:
○ Login name: kantech2; password: kantech
○ Security level : Administrator. By default, a user defined as Administrator has limited access to a number of the system menus.
• Guard:
○ Login name : kantech2; password: kantech
○ Security level : Guard. By default, a user defined as Guard has limited access to the system menu.
Creating/Modifying an Operator Security Level
Assigning security levels is critical to the system. In fact, if a security level is given full access to a system menu, operators who are assigned this security level will be able to modify system parameters. Make sure that each operator is given the security level corresponding to his/her tasks.
Items in the Security Level window are presented in a root tree with all components available for selection. This structure makes it possible to target specific components when granting security level for manual operations. Each security level is identified by a colour: full access (green), read-only (yellow) and no access (red). The security manager or an operator with appropriate permissions can easily change or assign a component to a lower level security level by double clicking an item until it changes to the desired colour code.
NOTE: Operators will not be able to see items for which they have not been given access.
1 - Under the System tab, select the Security level button. The Security level window appears with the Menu tab enabled.
2 - From the drop-down list, select the Security level you want to modify.
• To create a new security level, click the New button and enter the necessary information in the language section.
3 - Select a system tab (Workstation, EntraPass Web, EntraPass Go or Smartlink API).
4 - Double-click an item until it reaches the desired status: No access (red) , Read-only (yellow) or Full access (green) . You can also check the appropriate items on the left to be more specific about the allowed rights.
NOTE: A user with Read-only rights will not be able to print components in EntraPass.
Defining Login Options for an Operator
The Miscellaneous tab allows you to define operator login and system display options:
•

1 - Select the Miscellaneous tab to define parameters for the security level being defined.
2 - In the Login restrictions section, select the appropriate login options:
•
•
Select

NOTE: These options allow operators to keep more than one window active on the desktop. They can bring to front or send to back the window they want to display, simply by pressing [ALT-F6] .
4 - In the Components physical address section, specify how the component's physical address will be displayed. This will also affect how components will be sorted.
• Display on left —If selected, components will be sorted by their address (i.e. 01.01.01 Controller xyz).
• Display on right —If selected, components will be sorted by their component name (i.e. Controller xyz 01.01.01).
• No display —If selected, the address will not be displayed (i.e. Controller xyz) and components will be sorted by name.
5 - In the Miscellaneous section:
• Hide card holder pin content: If selected, it offers you the ability to hide the card holder pin content from the view.
• Hide Camera from video view: If you are using the Video feature, EntraPass enables you to deny viewing permission to a specified security level.
NOTE: Checking the Hide camera from video view option tells the system to verify access permission to cameras before loading a video view. For example, if the selected operator’s security level has access to a video server but not to all cameras defined in the video server and has access to the selected video view, the system will hide the camera that has been un-selected when assigning permission to the video server. For details, see Video Server Configuration.
Hiding Card Information
EntraPass offers you the ability to hide card information fields from view. For example, you can decide that a certain security level (Guard for example) can view or modify card information field. To do so, select the security level, then under the Card database fields tab, check the box that corresponds to the fields you want to hide.
1 - Select the Card database fields tab to limit the number of card fields which are visible to the operator who is assigned this security level.
NOTE:
2 - Select the fields (either individually or in groups) that will be hidden to the selected security level. Click on a field box repeatedly to scroll through the different status (Normal, Hide or Read only).
Assigning Video Custom Buttons
EntraPass offers you the ability to customize five buttons for use in the Video interface. System installers and administrators can customize buttons for use by operators in the Video desktop. For example, a button customized for Playback with fixed delay with specific pre-record and record delays and assigned to a specific Security level will enable operators to trigger the actions related to the specific button. If you associate a custom button with a specific task (play back or generating video events, additional buttons are added to the Video desktop (Desktops > Desktop dedicated to video viewing)
1 - From the Security level drop-down list, select the security level you want to define/edit.
2 - Select the Video custom button tab to assign permission to this operator. The following permission can be granted:
• Playback with fixed delay
• Playback with custom delay
• Generate recording event with fixed parameters
• Generate recording event with custom parameters.
3 - Select the option you want to assign to the operator being modified.
NOTE: Pressing the button associated with Playback with fixed delay will start a play back with the specified duration. This includes the pre-alarm recording time and the maximum recording time.
