To use permit entities in Security Center, you
must create the permit, map it to its source text file, and configure it for your enforcement
scenario.
What you should know
-
If you’re using University Parking Enforcement, you must
also apply restrictions to permits to create an
enforcement rule.
- You
can configure Security Center to prompt the Genetec Patroller™ operator to add extra
license plate hit details that aren’t included in the hit metadata sent by the Sharp
camera. For more information, see Adding enforced hit attributes in Patroller.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, click and then click Permit ().
The Creating a permit wizard opens.
-
On the Basic information page, in the Entity
name field, type a name for the permit.
This name appears in Patroller on the permit selection page.
IMPORTANT: The permit entity name must match the
Category field from the permit list source file.
-
(Optional) In the Entity description field, enter a description
for the new permit, and click Next.
This field doesn’t appear in Patroller.
-
Enter the Path on the computer where the source file for the
permit list is located.
If you start typing a path to a network drive, the Username and
Password fields appear. You’ll need to type the username and
password to access the network drive.
-
If the attribute fields in the source text file vary in length, switch the
Use delimiters option to ON, and enter the
type of character (delimiter) used to separate each field.
By default, Use delimiters is set to ON,
and the delimiter specified is a semi-colon (;). If your source
text file is made up of fixed-length fields, set Use delimiters to
Off . Security Center supports the following delimiters:
- Colon (:)
- Comma (,)
- Semi-colon (;)
- Tab (type “Tab”)
IMPORTANT: If your source list file uses Tab as a delimiter, only use one Tab
space. Don’t use more than one Tab space to align columns in your file, or Security
Center might not be able to parse the permit list.
NOTE: The maximum number of entries is 1.8 million when using Patroller in 64-bit mode. Adding more entries causes
the system to respond slowly.
-
(Optional) If you don’t want users to be allowed to edit this permit in Security Desk,
turn off Visible in editor.
NOTE: To edit a permit in Security Desk, users must have the Hotlist and permit editor
privilege.
-
Configure the permit Attributes and click
Next. See Configuring hotlist and permit attributes.

On the Unit specific assignment page, select the specific patrol
vehicles that will synchronize the new permit, and click

-
(Optional) If you have custom fields in your permit, enter the appropriate values on
the Custom fields page and click Next.
NOTE: The Custom fields page only appears if there are custom fields
in your hotlist.

information is correct and click Next.
