To add a user in BioStar 2, a security and access control software used for managing biometric devices and access rights, follow these step-by-step instructions. Please note that these steps are based on a general understanding of BioStar 2 and the actual process may vary slightly depending on your specific version of BioStar 2 and the configuration of your system.
Open your web browser and enter the IP address or hostname of your BioStar 2 server.
Enter your username and password to log in to the BioStar 2 software.
Once logged in, navigate to the "User" menu on the top navigation bar. This will take you to the User Management section.
In the User Management section, click on the "Add User" button. This button is usually found at the top left corner of the user list.
Fill in the user's details in the provided form. This typically includes information such as:
User ID (required): A unique identifier for the user.
Name (required): The user's full name.
Email (optional): The user's email address.
Phone number (optional): The user's telephone number.
Any other relevant fields provided by the form.
If you wish to assign the user to specific access groups (which control access to different areas or devices), navigate to the Access Group section within the Add User form and select the appropriate groups.
To add a card or mobile card for access control, navigate to the 'Cards' section below the Add User form.
Click on the option to add a card or mobile card. You may need to enter details such as:
Card number: The unique identifier of the physical access card or mobile card.
Activation date: The start date from which the card is valid.
Expiry date: The date until which the card remains valid.
Follow any additional on-screen instructions to link the card with the user's profile. For mobile cards, you may need to enter the user's mobile phone number or email address associated with their mobile access application.
Once all the necessary information is entered, click the "Save" button to add the user to the system.
Return to the User Management section and ensure that the new user appears in the user list. You may need to refresh the page.
Depending on your system's requirements, you may need to configure additional settings such as access schedules, device settings, or other permissions. These settings can typically be adjusted from the user's profile page.
To ensure everything is set up correctly, you may want to test the user's access with their registered biometric data or access cards on the relevant access points or devices.
Remember, the specifics of these steps may vary depending on the version of BioStar 2 you are using and your organization's configuration. Always refer to your BioStar 2 documentation for the most accurate and detailed instructions.
