6.14.5 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. With this latest 2.0
version access point firmware, 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
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
