How to set up the Admin PIN and restrict certain features within the VeriScan app.
Currently, the admin PIN only restricts features on the new VeriScan app for Windows on the Enterprise tier or higher.
Setting the Admin PIN
To get started, log into the VeriScan Cloud Portal and navigate to Settings > Local Settings > Device Access to locate the setting called Admin Security Lock.
Set the toggle to Enabled and enter a pin number in the Admin PIN textbox.
The PIN must be 4 to 10 digits long and only numbers are accepted.
Once enabled, the VeriScan for Windows app should require the PIN to use any of the restricted features with and active checkbox.
Restricting Features
You can easily choose which features are restricted and which are allowed without a PIN. Simply enable the checkbox for the feature you wish to restrict and a PIN will be required in the VeriScan app for Windows to use that feature.
