Creating AirWave User Roles

general AirWave access. VisualRF uses the same user roles as defined for AirWave—users can see floor plans that
contain an AP to which they have access in AirWave, although only visible APs appear on the floor plan.
Users can also see any building that contains a visible floor plan, and any campus that contains a visible building.
NOTE: In VisualRF > Setup > Server Settings, a new flag added in AirWave 7.2 allows you to restrict the visibility of empty floor
plans to the role of the user who created them. In previous versions, a floor plan without APs could be visible to all users. By
default, this setting is set to No.
When a new role is added to AirWave, VisualRF must be restarted for the new user to be enabled. Refer to
Chapter 10, "Using VisualRF" on page 257
User roles can be created that have access to folders within multiple branches of the overall hierarchy. This
feature assists non-administrative users, such as help desk or IT staff, who support a subset of accounts or sites
within a single AirWave deployment. You can restrict user roles to multiple folders within the overall hierarchy
even if they do not share the same top-level folder. Non-admin users are only able to see data and users for devices
within their assigned subset of folders.
