Information About Creating Guest User Accounts
The controller can provide guest user access on WLANs for which you must create guest user accounts. Guest user accounts can be created by network administrators, or, if you would like a non-administrator to be able to create guest user accounts on demand, you can do so through a lobby administrator account. The lobby ambassador has limited configuration privileges and access only to the web pages used to manage the guest user 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.
You can associate user name with WLAN profile name to restrict guest users in a specific WLAN.
