The Self-Service App automation mode is designed to run on the user's own PC and to carry out VSC lock operations without user interaction.

You can set up the Self-Service App automation mode to run automatically at Windows logon, to run periodically as a scheduled task, and so on.

A simple scenario for a VSC PIN lock would be:

1. The user logs on to their own PC.
2. The Self-Service App automation mode starts automatically.
3. The Self-Service App checks the MyID server for requests for VSC PIN locks or unlocks.
4. If there is a pending request for a PIN lock or unlock, the Self-Service App processes the request.

No user interaction is required.
