Creating AirWave Users
AirWave installs with only one AirWave user—the admin, who is authorized to perform the following functions:
 Define additional users with varying levels of privilege, be it manage read/write or monitoring.
 Limit the viewable devices as well as the level of access a user has to the devices.

Table 23 AMP Setup > Roles > Add/Edit Roles Fields and Default Values for Guest Access Sponsor Role
Setting Default Description
Name None Sets the administrator-definable string that names the role. The role name should indicate the
devices and groups that are viewable, as well as the privileges granted to that role.
Enabled Yes Disables or enables the role. Disabling a role prevents all users of that role from logging in to
AirWave.
Type AP/Device
Manager
Defines the type of role.
Guest Access Sponsor—Limited-functionality role to allow helpdesk or reception desk staff to
grant wireless access to temporary personnel. This role only has access to the defined top
folder of APs.
Top Folder None Defines the Top viewable folder for the role. The role is able to view all devices and groups
contained by the Top folder. The top folder and its subfolders must contain all of the devices in
any of the groups it can view.
NOTE: 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.
User roles can be restricted to multiple folders within the overall hierarchy, even if they do not
share the same top-level folder. Non-administrator users are only able to see data and users for
devices within their assigned subset of folders.
