• 1 - Can only Arm the system. This may be used, for example, for contractors who you want to arm the system when they leave the home after their work is done 
• 2 - Can Arm and Disarm, but cannot bypass. This authority level is commonly used for guests, babysitters, cleaners, etc.
• 3 - Duress - The level has the same authority as "0", and will also send a silent alarm to ADT when used
• 4 - Partition Master - This level has the same authority as the Master Code, but only for the designated partition. This level cannot change the Master Code

For example, you may give a guest a code to operate the system in the guest house, but not the system in the main house. Partition levels are:
