Node Threat Levels are only available if the option to Allow Threat Levels - LenelS2 Node controllers is enabled in System Options.

A threat level can be raised (made active) by selecting Start for it. When a threat level is activated, some people may lose access while others may gain access.  

By default, two threat levels are created when Allow Threat Levels is enabled in System Options:

  • Normal: This threat level represents normal operation of the controller and is active by default. When Normal is active, everyone has access in the system.
  • Threat: This is a generic threat level that you can configure.

Add a Threat Level

  1. Under System Options, select Node Threat Levels.
  2. On the New Threat Level page, select Add a Threat Level. Up to eight (8) threat levels can be created.
  3. Enter a name for the new threat level.
  4. To differentiate this threat level from others, select a color and icon for it.
  5. Select Save.

Start a Threat Level

Only one threat level can be active at a time.

  1. On the Node Threat Level list, select Start on the threat level you need to activate.
  2. A warning reports that only people assigned to this threat level will have access while this threat level is active.

  3. Select Start to confirm activation. 

    The Normal mode is automatically deactivated when you start a threat level (make it active). Once an active threat is resolved, return to normal operation by starting the Normal mode. This will automatically deactivate the resolved threat level and allow everyone access. 

    Threat levels can also be activated from the threat level button above every Elements page. This button acts as a drop-down control that allows you to select a threat level to immediately start it or return to the Normal mode from any view.
