Mark a watchlist as restricted
A restricted watchlist is created by marking a regular watchlist as restricted. In the current version of SmartFace Station it is not possible to mark a watchlist as restricted directly in the web application. This step requires manual changes in the configuration files on the web server.
The change needs to be done in two places:
- configuration file for SmartFace Station
- configuration file for Access Controller.
It is possible to mark multiple watchlists as restricted.
To change the watchlist into restricted - SmartFace Station
Go to the location where you installed the SmartFace Station. For example,
C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartFace Station\.
Open the
.env
configuration file.
CORE_API_ROOT=http://localhost:8098/api/v1
ODATA_API_ROOT=http://localhost:8099
ACCESS_CONTROLLER_ADDRESS=localhost:5050
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8000
BLACKLIST_WATCHLIST_IDS=8cb4a672-25b4-475f-bd94-2f8a31c760e1,0794ff0c-9de6-49fb-877d-24bb46dc806e
ENABLE_AUTHENTICATION=false
KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_URL=http://localhost:8080/auth/admin
Add the ID of the watchlist into BLACKLIST_WATCHLIST_IDS
variable. You may specify multiple blacklists at once by entering watchlists' IDs separated with a comma (BLACKLIST_WATCHLIST_IDS=ID1, ID2, ID3
).
/api/v1/Watchlists
in SmartFace REST API.To change the watchlist into restricted - Access Controller
Go to the location where you deployed Access Controller.
Open the
appsetting.json
configuration file, which can be found in the folder where it was extracted.In the configuration section under the
FilterConfiguration.BlacklistsConfiguration
key, set theBlacklist
attribute to the watchlist IDs, which you want to mark as blacklists. Note that this attribute is a JSON string array.
"BlacklistsConfiguration": {
"Enabled": true,
"Blacklists": [ "8cb4a672-25b4-475f-bd94-2f8a31c760e1", "0794ff0c-9de6-49fb-877d-24bb46dc806e" ]
},
- After you completed the changes, restart the SmartFace Access Controller and SmartFace Station services:
Go to the Task Manager and select the Services tab.
Right-click on the specific service (SFAccessController or SFStation) and choose Restart.

When watchlist is marked as restricted it is displayed in overall list of watchlist and also in watchlist details.
