A Personnel Access Control System is designed to control who can access specific areas based on predefined rules and credentials. Its functions include interrogating the credential presented (e.g., reading a card or biometric scan), deciding whether access should be granted or denied based on the person’s identity and permissions, and responding by activating a lock, triggering an alarm, or logging the event. However, the system itself does not typically *prepare* or issue the physical identity cards or credentials; that is usually a separate administrative or security function managed by a different system or department (like HR or a dedicated badging system).

– Access Control Systems verify identities and permissions.
– Core functions include reading credentials (interrogate), checking rules (decide), and enabling/denying access (respond).
– The creation or issuance of identity cards is separate from the access control *system’s* real-time function.

Access Control Systems manage databases of individuals and their access levels, but the physical process of designing, printing, and issuing ID cards is typically handled by dedicated identity management software or manual processes outside the core access control transaction processing.
