Phase 2: Community
Groups
2A: Set Up Communities
With shared users, the 'PIN Mode'
and 'User Logon Mode' for each
account is set under "[Management]

Community Groups", and will not be
editable under "Account Information". (This is
required since the length of each user's PIN
and card number is fixed.)
These are defined as "Communities" which will
be assigned in step 2B.
Note: If communities are assigned to accounts without
setting up shared users, this will block the same card
numbers from being used across all accounts for each
community (i.e., each card number can only apply to
one account for each specific community).
