1 Introduction

MyID^® is used to issue and maintain credentials that can be used to identify an individual. The credentials issued by MyID may contain personal information, digital certificates and applets. Smart cards may also include visual identification features; for example, a photograph of the holder or a distinctive background that indicates the holder belongs to a particular group.

This manual provides details of day-to-day operations, including:

• Adding, viewing, editing, and removing people records.
• Requesting, issuing, and managing smart cards.
• Working with certificates.
• Working with images.
• Running reports.
