Assignment of a card to a user stipulates for that a card, already added to the system by operator, is assigned to the defined user in order he or she issued a certificate and key pair to write those to the assigned card on his/her own using the Self-Service application.

A smart card can be owned by one user only at any moment. However, a user can have several different cards in the System. Whether a user can assign a card to himself or herself, is defined by administrator in the policy’s Workflow menu of the Configuration section.

  1. Switch to user card and click Assign card.
  2. If the card is available, connect it to a computer.

    • Сlick Assign.

3. If the card is not available at the moment of assignment, but its serial number and type is known - enter these and click Assign button.

4. Assigned smart card has Assigned status in the user card.
