his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database
- Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user,
or remove fingerprints for a particular user

* Check for fingerprint devices
* Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled
* Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device
supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against
any of the fingerprints enrolled

used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place
of PIN code authentication and/or tokens)
