Field Description
l “now” to activate the account immediately;
l “schedule_time” to use the activation time specified in the schedule_time form
field (normally a UNIX time, but may be 0 to disable activation time);
l “schedule_after” to set the activation time to the current time plus the number of
hours in the schedule_after field;
l “plus X ”, where X is a time measurement, to extend the activation time by X.
The time measurement is normally hours, but may have a “ywdhms” suffix to
indicate years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds, respectively.
Alternatively, this operation may be written equivalently as ‘+X’, ‘pX’, ‘plusX’,
‘add X’, ‘addX’, or ‘aX’. Example: to delay activation time by 2 days, use the
value +2d.
l “minus X ”, where X is a time measurement, to reduce the activation time by X .
See above for details about specifying a time measurement. Alternatively, this
operation may be written equivalently as ‘-X’, ‘mX’, ‘minusX’, ‘sub X’, ‘subX’, or
‘sX’. Example: to bring forward activation time by 12 hours, use the value -12h.
l A time measurement “ X ”, to set the activation time to the current time plus X .
l A time and date specification, to set the activation time to that time and date.
Many different formats are specified; for clarity it is recommended that a
standard format such as ISO-8601 is used (“YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss” format).
l Any other value to leave schedule_time unmodified.
This field controls account creation and modification behavior; it is not stored with
created or modified visitor accounts.
multi_initial_sequence
Integer. Initial sequence number. This field is used when creating guest accounts
and the random_username_method field is set to “nwa_sequence”. If this field is
not set, the next available sequence number for the given multi_prefix is used.
Sequence numbering will start with 0 if no initial sequence number has been set.
multi_prefix
String. The prefix of each username generated when creating guest accounts and
the random_username_method field is set to “nwa_sequence”.
netmask
String. Network address mask to use for stations using the account. This field may
be up to 20 characters in length. The value of this field is not currently used by the
system. However, a RADIUS user role may be configured to assign network
masks using this field by adding the Framed-IP-Netmask attribute, and setting the
value for the attribute to: <?= $user["netmask"]
no_password
Boolean. If set, prevents a user from changing their own password using the guest
self-service portal. Set this field to a non-zero value or a non-empty string to
disable guest-initiated password changes. The default is to allow guest-initiated
password changes, unless this field is set.
no_portal
Boolean. If set, prevents a user from logging into the guest service portal. Set this
field to a non-zero value or a non-empty string to disable guest access to the self-
service portal. The default is to allow guest access to the self-service portal, unless
this field is set.
no_warn_before
Boolean. User does not receive a logout expiration warning. The admin or user
can opt out of this option by setting the field to 1.
notes
String. Comments or notes stored with the account. This field may be up to 255
characters in length.
num_accounts
Integer. The number of accounts to create when using the create_multi form. This
