Authentication Methods
ID Manager is used to set the authentication options, such as fingerprint, card, or PIN, when adding or editing a person's account.
Authentication methods that require a card or PIN number can be allocated to more than one person at a time. For more information, go to Allocate PINs to Users.
The selected authentication methods also need to be activated as a log in authentication method for each piece of software the person has access to.
When you manually create an account for a person, the Access is set to None and must be changed before you can save their details.
The Access option is used to set authentication options the person can use:
- Finger (F) — can only log in using fingerprint
