User Management through the Alarm Panel
Table of Contents
Managing users on your Cove system is easy and secure. Whether you're setting up a new user, changing a passcode, or removing access, you can do it all directly from your Alarm Panel. Just make sure your Hub and Alarm Panel are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and you’re good to go!
Here’s how to manage user access from your Alarm Panel:
Manage User Access
Your Alarm Panel will allow you to manage your users and passcodes for your system. In order to do this, your Alarm Panel and Hub need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi Network.
If you need help doing this, please view these articles:
Once your Hub and Alarm Panel are both connected you can now connect the Alarm Panel to our backend. This will allow you to add, delete, and edit users and passcodes.
To connect your Alarm Panel to user management, please follow these steps:
- Click on “More” at the bottom navigation bar.
- Select “Settings”
- Select “Panel”
- Enter the 4-digit passcode.
- Tap on “Manage Access”
- Enter your Cove Connect App Username and Password
- Tap on “Sign In”
Once you have connected you will now see the Manage Access Options which will allow you to modify the following:
Master Passcode
Your master passcode is the 4-digit user code you created during the initial installation process. Unlike the other user passcodes, you can use the master passcode to access your system settings.
Reset your Master Passcode
- Go to More > Settings > Panel.
- Enter your 4-digit master passcode.
- Tap Manage Access.
- Log in with your Cove Connect app username and password.
- Select the Master User from the list.
- Scroll down to PIN code (required).
- Enter your new 4-digit passcode.
- Tap the green checkmark, then tap Save.
