4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a face authentication administrating program, the face authentication administrating program comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a face authentication administrating device, cause the processor to carry out a face authentication administrating method, the face authentication administrating device being operated by an administrator, the face authentication administrating method comprising:
displaying operation screens that set association information required for operations performed by a face management server and a plurality of face matching servers, the operations including:
a first operation to store and accumulate face image data of users, face image data of each user being stored and accumulated in association with a matching group corresponding to an organization to which the user belongs, in the face management server of a server device, the server device including the face management server and the plurality of face matching servers and being connected to the face authentication administrating device via a network;
a second operation to generate face feature amount data from the face image data of the users and store the generated face feature amount data separately for respective matching groups for corresponding organizations to which the users belong, the second operation being performed by each of the plurality of face matching servers; and
a matching operation between the face feature amount data of the users stored separately for the respective matching groups and face feature amount data generated from face image data of a person to be verified and acquired by a camera of a face authentication machine, the matching operation being performed by at least one of the plurality of face matching servers of the server device, the at least one of the plurality of face matching servers performing the matching operation when acquiring the face image data of the person to be verified from the face authentication machine, and
wherein the operation screens comprise:
a first screen that receives first operations to register the respective matching groups;
a second screen that receives second operations to set the association information regarding first associations between the respective matching groups registered by the first screen and the plurality of face authentication machines; and
a third screen that receives third operations to set the association information regarding second associations between the users and the respective matching groups registered by the first screen, the third screen setting the association information regarding the second associations when face image data of a user is registered.
