Suprema BioStar Air Cloud Access Control, Subscription Credits and SSO Add-on

Overview

BioStar Air is Suprema cloud access control. There is no server to install: compatible Suprema readers connect straight to the cloud, and you manage users, doors and credentials from a web browser or the BioStar Air app. The service is paid by subscription: your installer allocates credits to your site, and the site uses them each month.

Is it right for you?

It suits businesses that prefer not to run their own server, and companies with several branches that want one dashboard and one identity per person across sites. If you want your data kept on your own server, look at BioStar X instead.

Choosing your licence

Two items are sold for BioStar Air.

• Subscription Credits: keep your BioStar Air site running. Credits are allocated to your site by your installer and used monthly
• SSO and SCIM Licence: an add-on that lets administrators sign in with Microsoft Entra ID or Okta and keeps users, user groups and administrators in step automatically

Every site needs credits. Add the SSO and SCIM licence only if your company manages staff accounts in Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. Monthly credit use per door or device is not published by Suprema; we confirm it with your order, and the exact licence code is confirmed on your quotation.

• An internet connection at each door or controller

• For the SSO and SCIM licence: an active Microsoft Entra ID or Okta subscription, rights to create applications and push and assign groups in it, and master permissions in BioStar Air

Installation

Readers connect to the cloud with a single network cable. Your installer creates the site in the BioStar Air Partner Portal and assigns credits to it.

Software and licences

Credits are allocated to your site by your installer. Identity-provider integration needs the separate SSO and SCIM licence on top of the subscription.

Before you buy

Tell us how many doors, readers and sites you have so we can work out the credits you need. For SSO and SCIM, check that your identity provider is Microsoft Entra ID or Okta; other providers are not stated by the manufacturer.
