When is it acceptable to use a temporary access pass?

A temporary access pass is specifically designed to facilitate the entry of individuals who have been pre-approved but may not have their usual methods of access. This makes the option regarding one-time visitors with pre-approval the correct choice, as it aligns with security protocols while allowing flexibility for legitimate individuals who have a valid reason for access but cannot present their usual identification.

Utilizing a temporary access pass for visitors without prior approval or employees who have simply forgotten their badges may lead to security vulnerabilities, as it lacks the necessary vetting associated with pre-approval processes. In emergencies, while some flexibility might be allowed, it is generally not standard practice to rely on temporary passes without prior arrangements to ensure that access control measures are maintained. Hence, the focus in the context of temporary passes is centered on individuals who have been vetted beforehand, ensuring the security of the facility while allowing for necessary access.
