3. Setup the BioStar System Administrators are capable of adding and configuring devices, users, doors, zones, and access groups. They also can manage time and attendance functions, including setting up time categories, daily schedules, shifts, holiday rules, and leave periods, as well as creating, modifying, and viewing time and attendance reports. In addition, administrators can create custom administrator levels that are granted various privileges for the BioStar system menus. Operators can monitor and manage the BioStar system via a remote client terminal. Operators have the same privileges with administrators, other than the privileges to create and delete other administrator or operator accounts. Like administrators, operators are capable of adding and configuring devices, users, doors, zones, and access groups. They also can manage time and attendance functions, including setting up time categories, daily schedules, shifts, holiday rules, and leave periods, as well as creating, modifying, and viewing time and attendance reports. Managers have privileges to read all information in the menus. However, they cannot create, modify, or delete anything in the menus. Depending on your organization's requirements, the capability to view events may be useful for other management purposes. The custom administrator level can be assigned full or limited privileges on the seven menus. On each menu, you can assign one of three privileges: All Rights, Modify, or Read. Depending on your organization's requirements, the BioStar system can be managed more effectively by adding custom administrator levels. A typical setup will consist of one administrator (or more, depending on the size of your organization) who has full access to the system. Below the administrator level, several operators may perform various functions, such as remotely controlling doors and locks, adding users, registering fingerprints, issuing access cards, adding access groups, defining timezones, and configuring alarm events. 3.1.2 Add and Customize Administrative Accounts By default, BioStar includes one administrator account, which is added when you install the software (see section 2.3). You may choose to use this account as the sole administrator and grant operator privileges to all other users who will manage the system or you may choose to add multiple administrators to the system. 3.1.2.1 Add an administrative account To add an administrative account: 1. From the menu bar, click Administrator > Admin Account to open the Admin Account List dialog box. 2. Click Add New Administrator. 3. In the Add New Administrator dialog box, enter an Admin ID and password. 4. Confirm the password by retyping it and select an Admin Level from the drop- down list: 36 Copyright ©2014, Suprema Inc.
