Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing repositories of social network databases for calculating an access permission level for a first individual, comprising: receiving a first facial image of the first individual captured through a monitoring device at a computerized locking mechanism; comparing, in response to the receiving, the first facial image with facial images of pre-categorized individuals stored in a repository of pre-categorized individuals, wherein each pre-categorized individual is sorted into a category within a group of categories including at least a first category, a second category, and a third category; comparing, in response to the first facial image being absent from the repository of pre-categorized individuals, the first facial image with facial images of non-categorized individuals stored in a repository of non-categorized individuals; identifying, based on the comparing, a facial image of a second individual that has an image match score with the first facial image that is above an image match threshold; collecting, in response to the identifying, categorization data associated with the second individual from the repositories of social network databases; sorting, based on the collected categorization data, the second individual into one of the categories; determining, based on the image match score of the second individual and category of the second individual, an access permission level for the first individual; and providing the access permission level to a first user; wherein determining an access permission level includes accessing a security policy, wherein the security policy utilizes an identification value matrix to define access permission.
