When I run the code , its throwing error as name1 not defined .

Please paste the entire traceback and error message. For the code you've shown, that doesn't seem like an expected error.

Hi there,

I'm a beginner too and thought I'd have a go. I got your code to work by using:

name1 = input('Please enter your name:  ')
if name1 == 'mal' or name1 == 'sally':
    print('Authentication Success, You are allowed to enter the premises')
else:
    print('Access not allowed')

There's probably better ways to do it, but that seems to work.

Another way

#! /usr/bin/env python3

allowed_names = ['mal', 'sally', 'anees', 'clow', 'buddy', 'tom', 'denise']

name = input('Please enter your name: ')

if name.lower() in allowed_names:
    print(f'Authentication Success, {name.capitalize()}, You are allowed to enter the premises.')
else:
    print(f'Sorry, {name.capitalize()} is not in the allowed names list.')

Output:
Please enter your name: pop
Sorry, Pop is not in the allowed names list.

Please enter your name: anees
Authentication Success, Anees, You are allowed to enter the premises.
