Feature Overview
User management in BioStar Air allows administrators to oversee and configure users who access sites using the Suprema Pass app or other access credentials. Users are assigned unique credentials that grant them access to designated locations.
Note: Customers who began using BioStar Air access control before May 2025 may still be using the Airfob Space app, which has since been rebranded as the Suprema Pass app. Both apps offer identical functionality and are fully compatible. There is no need for existing users to switch — mobile credentials work seamlessly across both.

First, select if the user is Regular or Temporary:

- Temporary users can only receive Web Card credentials, which include Dynamic QR codes and LinkPass.
Credential Types
- Mobile Card - Suprema Pass mobile credential. Admins can edit the Card ID number.
- RF Card - Add up to 8 RFID cards per user. Configure card type (CSN / Wiegand), Card ID number, and Card Name to simplify managing multiple cards. You can also scan a physical RFID card using a connected reader by clicking Scan with Reader and selecting the reader.
- Web Card - LinkPass or Dynamic QR. (Note: Dynamic QR only appears if QR is enabled under Site Settings.)
- Face - Add up to two face profile images. Options include uploading an existing image, enrolling via a reader, or sending a link via email for self-enrollment using a phone's selfie camera.
- PIN - Set a 4–16 digit PIN for use as part of two-factor authentication (2FA).

- Set a start date (required) and an optional end date for the user’s credentials.
- After setting a start date, use shortcut buttons for common end dates: +1D, +3D, +1W, +1Y, Manual, or Infinite.
Access Levels
- Access levels can be assigned permanently (expire with the credential) or temporarily (expire earlier than the credential).
