Rather than grant access, an activation badge activates a specific threat level for a specific threat level group.
An activation badge uses access rights to implement an active threat level at the desired access points. Access rights are
assigned to people. There are two ways to create an activation badge.
- Create a fictitious threat level person; assign that person access rights that allow the activation badge to work; then assign
all activation badges to that person. The system recognizes these badges as activation badges for activating the designated
threat level at the access points associated with the threat level group. Activation badges do not provide access to the door
associated with the reader.
- Assign an access right to a real person with sufficient default levels to allow the person to initiate a threat level.
When you assign an access right to a person for the purpose of creating an activation badge, be aware of the access right’s
threat level. A person with an access right configured for a threat level of three [3] cannot use their badge to change an
active threat level that is a level four [4] or higher. A good practice may be to create a threat level just for the person
with the activation badge and set its Default Access Right Threat Level property to the highest threat level.
