Chapter 9 Managing User Accounts
Creating Guest User Accounts
Creating Guest User Accounts
The controller can provide guest user access on WLANs. The first step in creating guest user accounts
is to create a lobby administrator account, also known as a lobby ambassador account. Once this account
has been created, a lobby ambassador can create and manage guest user accounts on the controller. The
lobby ambassador has limited configuration privileges and access only to the web pages used to manage
the guest accounts.
The lobby ambassador can specify the amount of time that the guest user accounts remain active. After
the specified time elapses, the guest user accounts expire automatically.
The local user database is limited to a maximum of 2048 entries and is set to a default value of 512
entries (on the Security > General page). This database is shared by local management users (including
lobby ambassadors), net users (including guest users), MAC filter entries, and disabled clients. Together
these cannot exceed the configured database size.
Creating a Lobby Ambassador Account
You can create a lobby ambassador account on the controller through either the GUI or the CLI.
