“…4.4.3 Power outage may affect its usage. In most tertiary institutions, PAC is crucial for entry into residential halls/hostels, lecture theaters, libraries and network access (Velasco, 2022;Cheng et al, 2020;Bigelow Stephen, 2008). Nonetheless, user authentication and the use of electricity continue to be heavily reliant on these systems.…”

“…As a preventive measure against the devastating effects of vandalism, theft and terrorism, PACs limit who can access available resources and enter protected places (Masoumzadeh et al, 2022). In higher education, PAC is essential for entry into the library, residential halls, lecture theaters and network access (Velasco, 2022;Cheng et al, 2020;Bigelow Stephen, 2008). However, these systems continue to depend significantly on user authentication.…”

Purpose This study explores the importance of and vulnerabilities in deploying physical access control (PAC) devices in a typical university setting.Design/methodology/approach The study adopts face-to-face and telephone interviews. This study uses a semi-structured interview guide to solicit the views of 25 interviewees on the subject under consideration. Qualitative responses to the interview are thematically analyzed using NVivo 11 Pro analysis application software.Findings The findings reveal five importance and seven vulnerabilities in the deployment of PAC devices in the institution. Key among the importance of deploying the devices are “prevent unwanted premise access or intrusions,” “prevent disruptions to university/staff operations on campus” and “protect students and staff from outside intruders.” Key among the identified vulnerabilities are “tailgating”, “delay in emergent cases” and “power outage may affect its usage.”Originality/value This study offers insight into a rare area of study, especially in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. Furthermore, the study contributes to the state-of-the-art importance and vulnerabilities in deploying PAC devices in daily human activities. The study is valuable in that it has the potential to establish a foundation for future studies that may delve into investigating issues associated with the deployment of PAC devices.
