In the **top-right corner** of the page, you will see a small **“+” icon inside a circle**. Click this icon to open the **Create** menu.

You will then be prompted to enter the following information:

- **First Name**
- **Last Name**
- **Authentication Method**

For most users, the recommended authentication method is **PIN**, which allows the user to access the system using their assigned PIN code.

The **Licence Plate** authentication option is only applicable if your system is equipped with **Access-Based Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras**.

Once these fields are completed, you can proceed with saving the new user.

You can also assign an **NFC card or tag** to a user for contactless access.

This can be done using common NFC-enabled items such as:

- NFC access cards
- NFC key fobs
- Apple **AirTags** or similar NFC-enabled devices
- Other compatible NFC cards or keys you may already own

To pair an NFC device with the system, you **must be physically near the intercom or NFC reader**.

When prompted during setup, simply **present the NFC card or device to the reader** to pair it with the user account.

Once paired, the NFC device can be used to **unlock the system by tapping it on the reader**.

NFC access can also be **used alongside other authentication methods**, such as **PIN codes or licence plate recognition**, giving users multiple ways to gain access.
