Defining user access permissions by group
An external AAA server maintains the users and groups database used by the access point for
access permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. Individual
groups can be associated with their own time-based access policy. Each group’s policy has a user
defined interval defining the days and hours access is permitted. Authentication requests for users
belonging to the group are honored only during these defined hourly intervals.
Refer to the Access Policy screen to define WLAN access for the user group(s) defined within the
Users screen. Each group created within the Users screen displays in the Access Policy screen
within the groups column. Similarly, existing WLANs can be individually mapped to user groups by
clicking the WLANs button to the right of each group name. For more information on creating
groups and users, see
“Managing the Local User Database”
on page 208. For information on
creating a new WLAN or editing the properties of an existing WLAN, see
CAUTION
If using the Radius time-based authentication feature to authenticate access point user
permissions, ensure UTC has been selected from the Date and Time Settings screen’s Time Zone
field. If UTC is not selected, time based authentication will not work properly. For information on
setting the time zone for the access point, see
“Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)”
