Groups | XR650 Installation and Programming Guide

With groups, you can organize users into groups to manage user access. Up to 99 groups can be created, each with individual permissions, such as arming and disarming areas or doors, initiating lockdowns, and more. Groups make it easier to assign permissions based on each user’s needs.
