Restricting Access to WLAN Management Software
By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system with WLAN Management Software
installed can run WLAN Management Software. You can restrict the users allowed to access WLAN Manage-
ment Software on a system and define their access privileges by creating three types of WLAN Management
Software user accounts:
•
Administrator—This account can monitor the network, configure the network, and administer WLAN
Management Software. When creating an administrator account, you must assign an administrator
password, which you are required to provide the next time you configure access privileges. This account
also can remove locks.
•
Provisioning User—This account can configure and monitor the network. However:
•
The Plan Management options are unavailable.
•
All configuration options in the WMS Services Setup dialog box are unavailable.
•
Monitoring User—This account can only monitor the network. When users with a monitor account open
a network plan, they can see configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any
configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.
•
On the Tools menu, the Certificates option is grayed out.
•
All tasks for creating configuration items are grayed out.
•
All configuration options in the WMS Services Setup page are grayed out.
•
Options to deploy and undo local changes and accept or undo network changes are
not available.
•
The options on the right-click menu in the Organizer panel are grayed out.

Configuration items that are related specifically to monitoring (logs, managed
devices, site surveys and work orders) can be configured. However, new network
plans cannot be configured.
The WLAN Management Software user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows domain or local
operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start WLAN Management Software.
Creating an Administrator Account
Before you can restrict user access to WLAN Management Software, you must create an administrator
account. After creating an administrator account, you can create provision or monitor accounts.
