4.12 Approving user data

The STATUS tab of the PIV applicant editing screens contains the User Data Approved and Vetting Date fields.

• User Data Approved – if the credential profile has the Require user data to be approved option set (which is required for PIV cards) the cards can be issued only to users who have the User Data Approved flag set on their account.

  This flag certifies that the applicant has been through the correct enrollment process and has been approved to receive a PIV card.

  To set or unset this option, see:

  • section 4.12.2, Approving a person.

  • section 4.12.3, Unapproving a person.

• Vetting Date – if you approve a person, the vetting date is set to the current date. Alternatively, you can set the vetting date manually using the calendar control on the Approve Person screen.

  Note: Unapproving a person clears the vetting date.

For more information on the User Data Approved and Vetting Date options, see the Identity checks section in the Administration Guide.
