Self-Service: Physical Access Service
In this use case are described available physical access right management service in the Self-Service Portal. This use case is part of Manage Physical Accesses use case.
User and Manager can
1. Request new physical accesses
2. Remove existing physical accesses
3. Report missing physical access card
User can,
4. Change own PIN code for physical access card or badge from the physical accesses management solution.
There are two options for how to automate physical access right management
1. Use directory in between IGA solution and Physical Access Management solution
This needs that the Physical Access Right Management solution needs to have connector or needs to be integrated to Customer's directory (usually AD or Azure AD), where IGA solution is already connected (via Efecte Provisioning Engine).
2. Build integration between IGA solution and Physical Access Management solution
This needs Efecte Integration Service (or Customer's own integration platform) and integration method is agreed in the project. Usually integration is implemented by using WebAPI, REST API or file transfer between these solutions.

Use Case Description
This use case is available only for IGA Enterprise package.
