NOTE: For security reasons, the General Manager and Master Authorization levels
cannot have PINs assigned.
Once a PIN has been created, the FDU offers some options to manage it afterwards. An
authorized user can verify, modify, revoke and copy the PIN to another FDU as detailed
below.
4.2.6.1 Creating a PIN:
The PIN assignment is an optional part of the normal authorization keycard creation
process. In the case of a new employee, after having specified the authorization type and
number, the administrator enters the desired PIN and then creates a new keycard. The
PIN is a 4 to 8 digit code and may be chosen by the employee or suggested by the FDU.
Refer to
Section 3.5.5.1 – Create/Assign a PIN – New employees:
for detailed steps.
Additionally, an existing employee who does not currently have a PIN assigned to their
authorization level can also have one created without having to recreate a new keycard
Refer to
Section 3.5.5.2 – Create/Assign a PIN – Existing employees:
for detailed steps.
NOTES: The administrator has the responsibility to manage the choice of the PIN
being used. The administrator must avoid PINs being easy to identify such
as “1234” or the birthdate of the user.
The administrator has the responsibility to manage the duplication of PINs
when more then one FDU is used for assigning PINs within the same
property.
If the requested PIN is not already allocated to another employee, it becomes a valid
substitution to the users’ authorization keycard. For security purposes if a PIN is written
down it should be kept in a safe place to prevent unauthorized people from seeing it.
If the PIN is already in use by the FDU, it is rejected and the administrator must choose
another one. If the PIN has been revoked in the past, the administrator will have the
choice to go forward with the assignment of this PIN or retry with another one which has
not been previously used by an employee.
NOTE: Using a PIN that was revoked in the past can lead to security issues as an
ex-employee may come back and find out that his old PIN is still valid.
4.2.6.2 Modifying, verifying and revoking a PIN:
In the event an employee forgets their PIN, the system allows an administrator with the
right authorization level to swipe the keycard of the employee, and the PIN, if there is
