All users will be set to a default classification of unclassified when WMS is first offloaded. As APs report
subsequent classification information about users, this classification will be reflected within AirWave UI and
propagated to controllers that AirWave manages. It is probable that the user’s classification reflected in the
controller’s UI and in the AirWave UI will not match, because the controller/APs do not reclassify users
frequently.
There is no method in the AirWave UI to update user classification on mass to match the controller’s
classification. Each client must be updated individually within the AirWave UI.
