3.5—Configure Card Format
The Rock operates with any type of badge reader and badge.
When a company distributes badges to its employees, these badges will have a specific card “format”. Card formats define how data is encoded in the card. Many cards have a
facility code and a card number but it is possible that the format only contains a card number. Cards will vary in sizes such as 26, 33, 37, 48 bits although the bits do not indicate the
format. The facility code and card number can be displayed if the size and location of the bits within the bit length are known.
Companies may also have more than one card format. The Alcatraz AI Admin Portal is able to display the correct badge number and facility code as long the card formats are
configured for the account. The portal supports configuring multiple card formats.
Card formats are configured once for the Account. The information used for configuring can be obtained from your Access Control System (ACS) administrator.

Permissions
4.1—Create a User 21
4.2—Delete a User 22
The Permissions section of the Alcatraz AI Admin Portal provides capability to create new system users to log into the Alcatraz AI Admin Portal.
When a new system user is created, they must be assigned a role. This role will be associated with permissions to create, edit, view, or delete in the portal.
20Ver. 1.01
Users are associated with an Account so the Account must be previously created in order to assign the user a role for an Account. This is important to
note for Dealer Admins who must manage multiple Accounts.
Note: Only Dealer Admins and Installer roles are able to Delete Rocks from Accounts.
