Access Control Process for VIP Users
If the administrator lists a user as VIP, the access control flow for that user will differ from the
general access control flow. When a user is enrolled as VIP and the VIP bypass is enabled, then
the VIP user is exempted from authentication using biometric data, PIN, BIOPIN or Face
detection.
The Access Control Process for VIP users has following steps:
1.
A user can initiate access request by placing card or finger
2.
Once identified as a VIP user, terminal will not ask for any biometric data
3.
Other checks such as (if configured), access schedule, holiday schedule, banned card,
authorized list, expiry date, trigger event check, etc. are done as per the
authentication process. Please refer to Step 5 in Access Control Flow Diagram in
Authentication Mode
4.
On successful authentication, access is granted to a VIP user
Note: If the access request is triggered from keyboard or external source like Wiegand string,
then the user authentication process will be conducted using biometric/PIN check.
