Access and permissions

Settings changes require the system to be disarmed and not in alarm. Opening a protected Settings section authorizes the permitted sections for that visit; the session ends when Settings closes or after idle expiry.
Disarm restrictions
Section titled “Disarm restrictions”- Arm only cannot disarm.
- Guest can disarm only an armed period that guest started.
- Installer can disarm only when the installer armed.
- Standard/master operation still follows partition permissions.
The installer does not manage ordinary household codes. A partition master cannot grant unrestricted authority to themselves.
For exact user-role choices, see People and access codes.
