Normally, actions are applied to a specific entity. However, the actions that you configure for a threat level can be applied to all entities of the entity type related to that action.
For example, the action Start recording normally applies to one camera. However, when
you are configuring a threat level, you can select All entities so that all the cameras
start recording when the threat level is set.
NOTE: If you apply your action to a
specific entity, the action is applied to the specified entity regardless whether the entity
is found under the area where the threat level is set or not.
Actions exclusive to threat levels
The following actions are unique to threat level configuration.
| Action name | Target entity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Set minimum security clearance | area (Location) | Sets the minimum security clearance level required from cardholders to enter
the area on top of the restrictions imposed by the access rules. Perimeter doors
in the area go into the locked state if they were previously unlocked because of
an unlock schedule. You need the Set
minimum security clearance privilege to configure this action. Additional parameter:
This action only works with door controllers that support this feature.
The range of supported values might vary, depending on the access control
hardware.
NOTE: For this action to be applied to a federated area, the Federation™ user must also have the Set minimum
security clearance privilege.
|
| Set minimum user level | N/A | Logs out users with a lower user level than the one you specify when a threat
level is set, and prevents them from logging back on. You need to be an
administrative user to configure this action. Additional parameter:
This action is only executed when the threat level is set at the system level. If the user setting the threat level has a user level below the required minimum, that user is logged off the system the moment the threat level is set. |
| Set reader mode | area, door (Location) | Sets the reader mode for accessing doors. Additional parameter:
This action only works with door controllers and readers that support this feature. |
