Abstract: The invention relates to a process for managing user rights for a code-protected object (1) such as, for instance, a bank automat in which a code (6) is generated with an object identification number (7) and an authorization time period (8) by a user rights management (5) that is given to an authorized user (9) for an access to the object (1) and that the authorized person (9) enters into a control device (3) wherein the control device (3) examines the code (6) based on the object identification number (11) specified to it in advance and a time (12) determined by the control device (3). In doing do the user (9) must enter the code (6) into the control device (3) only if the time (12) determined by it conforms at least approximately to the authorization time period (8) contained in the code (6). In the presence of a proper code (6), the control device (3) then provides the authorized person (9) access to the object (1).
