The user information you have configured appears on the AMP Setup > Users page, and the user propagates to all
other AirWave pages and relevant functions.
AirWave enables user roles to be created with access to folders within multiple branches of the overall hierarchy. This
feature assists non-administrator users who support a subset of accounts or sites within a single AirWave deployment,
such as help desk or IT staff.

AirWave User Roles
The AMP Setup > Roles page defines the viewable devices, the operations that can be performed on devices, and
general 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 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 AirWave. Users can see floor plans that contain an AP to which they
have access in 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, a flag added in AirWave 7.2 allows you to restrict the visibility of empty floor plans
to the role of the user who created them. In previous versions, a floor plan without APs could be visible to all users. By
default, this setting is set to No.
When a new role is added to AirWave, VisualRF must be restarted for the new user to be enabled.
Creating AirWave User Roles
Perform the following steps to view, add, edit, or delete user roles:
1. Go to the AMP Setup > Roles page. This page displays all roles currently configured in AirWave. Figure 18
illustrates the contents and layout of this page.
