Why does UniFi recognize a plate but fail to unlock my gate?

Short answer
Check the complete Protect-to-Access pairing and permission chain.
Explanation
The documented plate-unlock workflow requires compatible hardware, pairing and a plate credential assigned to a person.
Things to check

ANPR Edge
Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.
ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.
- Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
- One license per location covers every camera
- Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
