Roles and Policies
The NXA-WAPZD1000 provides a “Default” role that is automatically applied to all new user accounts. This
role links all users to the internal WLAN and permits access to all WLANs by default. As an alternative, you
can create additional roles that you can assign to selected wireless network users, to limit their access to certain
WLANs, to allow them to log in with non-standard client devices, or to grant permission to generate guest
passes. (You can then edit the “default” role to disable the guest pass generation option.)
Creating New User Roles
To create new user roles:
1.
Go to Configure > Roles. The Roles and Policies page appears, displaying a Default role in the Roles
table.
2.
Click Create New (below the Roles table).
3.
Type a Name and a short Description for this role.
4.
Choose the options for this role from the following:
Group Attributes: Fill in this field only if you are creating a user role with administrator privileges
and you are using Active Directory or LDAP as the authentication server. Enter the User Group
name here. Active Directory/LDAP users with the same group attributes are automatically mapped
to this user role.
Allow All WLANs: You have two options: (1) Allow Access to all WLANs, or (2) Specify WLAN
Access. If you select the second option, you must specify the WLANs by clicking the check box
next to each one. This option requires that you create WLANs prior to setting this policy (see
Creating a New WLAN).
Guest Pass: If you want users with this role to have permission to generate guest passes, activate
this option.
Administration: This option allows you to create a user role with NXA-WAPZD1000
administration privileges - either full access or limited (read only) access.
5.
When you are finished, click OK to save the entries. This role is ready for assignment to authorized users.

When creating a guest pass generator Role, you must ensure that this Role is given
access to the Guest WLAN. If you create a Role and allow guest pass generation, but
do not allow the Role access the relevant WLAN, members of the “Guest Pass
Generator” Role will still be unable to generate guest passes for the Guest WLAN.
