Creating security templates using the EWS
A security template is assigned to each device function, to control which users are permitted to access that function.
At a minimum, you must create two security templates: one for "Administrator_Only" and one for
"Authenticated_Users". If there is a need to grant access to some functions while restricting others, you can create
additional security templates such as “Administrator_Reports”, or “Color_User”. Each template will be populated with
groups containing users authorized to access the functions protected by that template. A “PKI Authentication”
security template is created automatically when you configure PKI Authentication.

Authentication building block would be used only when modifying other security templates to add
authorization.
Even if it has been configured, PKI Authentication will not be displayed in the list of available building blocks
if the application is in a “Stopped” state. For information about starting PKI Authentication, see “Configuring
Common Access Card access” on page 32.
