Management console tool
The management console tool is for the administrator to configure Fingerprint Software through command
lines. This section provides information about user-specific commands and global setting commands.
Note: The Management console tool does not come with the installation package of Fingerprint Software.
For any detailed information about the management console tool, contact Lenovo Support.
User-specific commands
To enroll or edit users, the USER section is used. When the current user does not have administrator
rights, the console behavior depends on the security mode of the Fingerprint Software. Secure mode: no
commands are allowed. Convenient mode: ADD, EDIT and DELETE commands are possible for standard
user. However, the user can modify only his own passport (enrolled with his user name). The following is
the syntax:
FPRCONSOLE USER command
where command is one of the following commands: ADD, EDIT, DELETE, LIST, IMPORT, EXPORT.
