AWMS supports guest user provisioning for Dell PowerConnect W, Aruba Networks and Cisco WLC devices.
This allows frontline staff, such as receptionists or help desk technicians, to grant wireless access to WLAN
visitors or other temporary personnel.
The first step in creating a guest access user on the WLAN is to define a role for the AWMS users who will be
responsible for associated tasks, if those users are to have a role other than Admin. Perform the following steps
in the pages described to configure these settings.
1. Navigate to the AMP Setup > Roles page and create a new role of the type Guest Access Sponsor. Click Add
New Role, select this role type, and enter a role name. Also, select the top folder for which this role should
have access.

2. Next, navigate to the AMP Setup > Users page and create a new user with the role that was just created for
Guest Access Sponsors.

3. The newly created login information should be provided to the person or people who will be responsible for
creating guest access users. Anyone with an Admin role can also create guest access users.
4. The next step in creating a guest access user is to navigate to the Users > Guest Users tab. From this tab, you
can add new guest users, you can edit existing users, and you can repair guest user errors.
