Emergency Rules
To solve critical problems when a Security Administrator may not be available (such as during midnight shifts), Authority on Demand includes emergency rules.
The authorization to get AOD is split between three entities:
-
A Security Administrator who creates the rule
-
An Emergency Operator who enables the rule on request
-
A Requester (usually a programmer) who uses the Get Authority On Demand (GETAOD) command.
-
Select 11. Work with Operators in the Maintenance menu to define Emergency Operators. These operators can modify emergency rules only. An Emergency Operator can be defined as a Limited Emergency Operator, with no ability to change PIN codes. This adds an additional layer of security. For more details, see Operators.
-
Select 8. Emergency Rules from the Authority On Demand System Configuration menu. The Emergency Rules screen appears.
