The smartcard is blocked when the supervisor privileges should be revoked only for a specific time. You can block a user’s card as a precaution, for example, if the user is on vacation or handling other tasks at the company for a certain time period (e.g., a stay abroad).
If you want to permanently withdraw a supervisor’s supervisor privileges or if the card should be permanently blocked (e.g., if it is lost), select the option “Withdraw smartcard”.
As supervisor, use your smartcard to connect to the registered PROXESS system.
Select the “Smartcards” folder and mark the desired user in the list. In the “Action” menu (alternatively via the user’s context menu), select the command Block/set block.
The following dialog box appears:

The entered reason appears in the history of the smartcard. To access this, select the “Smartcards” folder again and mark the desired user in the list. In the “Action” menu (alternatively via the user’s context menu), select the command Show history.
