1. Navigate to the AMP Setup > Roles page and select the Read-Only Monitoring & Auditing role type. Under
Guest User Preferences, enable Allow creation of Guest Users.

Username Displays the name of the user associated to the AP. AirWave gathers this data from device traps, SNMP

been stored in the database from a previous association, but AirWave is not getting a username for the
current association. This may indicate that the user has not yet been authenticated for this session or
AirWave may not be getting a username from an external source.
