About AirGroup Time-Based Sharing
This section discusses time-based sharing policies for an AirGroup shared device.
For information on the syntax for time-based sharing policies for a AirGroup shared devices, see "AirGroup
Time-Based Sharing Syntax Examples" on page 71
Time-based sharing is used in settings where an organization's shared devices are made available to groups of
users according to a regular schedule, and device access is configured by group at the user level—for example:
l A university classroom or laboratory is used by a first-year physics class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays, by a group of researchers on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for visiting speakers every other
Saturday.
l A convention center has several major exhibitors who each hold an annual event, and who reserve their
customary section of the convention center several years in advance.
In cases like this, you can enter rules to define the schedule on which shared devices in an area will be available
to certain groups. You can also specify times when a device will not be available. This is a time-based sharing
policy.
Device association is dynamic: When a shared device is available to a group, any user with that group attribute
can access the device. When the user is no longer a member of the group (for example, at the end of the
semester), they no longer have access, but the time-based sharing policy remains in effect and new users who
are assigned the group attribute can access the shared device.
Basics of Time-Based Sharing Setup
When you create a device, enable it for AirGroup Services, and configure it as a shared device, you also have the
option to specify time-based sharing (time fencing) for the device.
You first use the Administration > AirGroup Services >Configure form to create the groups who can
share devices. When you type a name for the group in the Group Name field, press the Enter key, and click
Save, the group is created in the system and appears as a "tag".
On the Guest > Create Device or Guest > List Devices >Edit forms, the shared user groups you created
are then available for selection when you click in the Shared Groups field. (This feature requires AOS 6.4 or
later)
