NOTE: Fingerprint readers are optional, but are necessary, if adding fingerprinting abilities for users in WashConnect®.

You can add user’s fingerprint as a valid authentication type to verify the identity of the User for login to WashConnect® and the Time Clock. You also have the ability to force use of finger print reader for time clock operations.The system prevents the same fingerprint from being assigned to multiple users.

NOTES:

• Only an Admin users may have the required privilege to authorize a specified fingerprint reader to work
  on a specified machine and to interface with WashConnect. If the reader is removed and then returned,
  it will need to be authorized again before it may be used. A prompt will inform the user that the reader is
  not authorized, requiring a person with the proper privilege to enter their override code to authorize it.
• Only users who already have existing access to Security Roles can log on and manage other user roles. A user cannot assign a role above their level but only assign role(s) at the same level or lower to another User.  (The Admin role is used in this example.)
• Users must have wages assigned or attached to use the Time Clock menu.
