Abstract: A dynamic access control facility that enables an operator to determine whether to grant or deny access to an individual based, in part, on the status of the individual. The operator scans the individual's identification information from an identification record using a scanning device. To determine the status of the individual, the facility decodes the scanned identification information and identifies candidates based on the decoded identification information. The facility may identify a number of candidates or no candidates. For each authorized candidate, the facility selects for display the locations or resources that the candidate is authorized to access. When there is at least one candidate, the facility displays the selected candidate(s) to the operator indicating the status of the individual and/or whether access should be denied or granted. In some embodiments, when no candidates are identified, the facility indicates whether the individual should be denied or granted access.
