you for any phase of W-AirWave installation.
W-AirWave User Roles
The AMP Setup > Roles page defines the viewable devices, the operations that can be performed on devices,
and general W-AirWave access. User roles can be created that provide users with access to folders within multiple
branches of the overall hierarchy. This feature assists non-administrative users, such as help desk or IT staff, who
support a subset of accounts or sites within a single W-AirWave deployment. You can restrict user roles to
multiple folders within the overall hierarchy even if they do not share the same top-level folder. Non-admin
users are only able to see data and users for devices within their assigned subset of folders.
User Roles and VisualRF
VisualRF uses the same user roles as defined for W-AirWave. Users can see floor plans that contain an AP to
which they have access in W-AirWave, although only visible APs appear on the floor plan. VisualRF users can also
see any building that contains a visible floor plan and any campus that contains a visible building.
In VisualRF > Setup > Server Settings, the Restrict visibility of empty floor plans to the user that created them
configurationoption allows you to restrict the visibility of empty floor plans to the role of the user who created them. By
default, this setting is set to No.
When a new role is added to W-AirWave, VisualRF must be restarted for the new user to be enabled.
Configuring Login Message, TACACS+, RADIUS, and LDAP Authentication
W-AirWave uses session-based authentication with a configurable login message and idle timeout. As an option,
you can set W-AirWave to use an external user database to simplify password management for W-AirWave
administrators and users. This section contains the following procedures to be followed in AMP Setup >
Authentication:
