Assign

Assigning a card to a user associates it with their account and allows them to issue the card through Self-Service.

One card can only belong to one user at a time. A user can have multiple cards assigned to them.

Assign a card

1. Navigate to the user's profile.
2. Select Assign card.
3. Depending on whether you have access to the card, select:
   • Card available
   • Card not available

Card available

Follow the steps below based on whether the card is registered in Axidian CertiFlow.

Card is registered

1. Connect the card to your workstation.
2. Select the card in the Card list and click Assign.

Card is not registered

You can register a card automatically during the assignment operation. To configure card automatic registration:

1. Open the Configuration section, navigate to the policy settings and go to Workflow → General.
2. Enable the Add cards automatically when they are issued or assigned option.

To add and assign a card:

1. Connect the card to your workstation.
2. Select the card in the Card list.
3. (Optional) When you add a card, Axidian CertiFlow automatically inserts the administrator PIN defined for this card type in Configuration → Card Types. If you have previously changed the administrator PIN, enter it in the Advanced section.
4. Click Assign.

caution

If you enter an incorrect PIN, the PIN may be blocked.

About administrator PIN blocking

Each card has a counter for failed administrator PIN entry attempts. If you add a card which has only one attempt left and you enter an incorrect PIN, the PIN is blocked.

For some cards, a blocked administrator PIN cannot be unblocked. If the administrator PIN is blocked, you can only initialize the card, which erases all data stored on it.

Card not available

You can assign a card to a user remotely if it was previously registered in Axidian CertiFlow.

1. In the Management Console side panel, go to Cards and use the search filters to find the card.
2. Select Assign in card operations menu.

Allow users assign cards in the Self-Service

You can allow or prevent users from assigning cards in the Self-Service. To configure the permission:

1. Open the Configuration section, navigate to the policy settings and go to Workflow → User permissions → Card issuing operations.
2. Enable the Assign option.

Unassign a card

You can unassign a card from a user if the card has not yet been issued.

1. Go to the user's profile and open the card menu.
2. Select Unassign.
