ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600
Manage Users, Accounts, and Passwords
The wireless controller supports different types of users and accounts. You can add, change,
and remove users and accounts.
User and Account Concepts
The wireless controller supports three types of users: management users, WiFi users (WiFi
clients), and captive portal users. All of these users must provide their login name and
password to be authenticated by the wireless controller’s internal authentication server and to
access the wireless controller’s web management interface or wireless network.
• Management users. These users have access to the wireless controller’s web
management interface. The wireless controller supports four types of management users:
- Administrators. Administrative users (admins) with read and write capabilities.
These users can change the configuration of the wireless controller.
- Read-only users. These users have access to the wireless controller’s web
management interface but can access only the Monitor main navigation tab and the
Help main navigation tab. These users cannot change the configuration of the
wireless controller.
- Guest provisioning users. These users can configure only captive portal users, that
is, they can access only the User Management configuration menu tab under the
Maintenance main navigation tab.
- License management only users. These users can configure only licenses, that is,
they can access only the License configuration menu tab under the Maintenance
main navigation tab (for more information, see
Manage Licenses on page 219).
• WiFi users. Users with credentials to access the wireless network. These users do not
need to use the captive portal or the guest portal to access the wireless network, nor is
their access subject to expiration.
• Captive portal users. Users with credentials to access the captive portal and who are
granted temporary access or access without expiration.
In addition to the users, you can also configure captive portal accounts that you use in
combination with captive portal users. Accounts specify the period during which wireless
access is available and the amount that is charged for it.
Note: For information about password requirements, see Table 11 on
page 306.
