Enabling AWMS to Manage Your Devices

Once AWMS is installed and active on the network, the next task is to define the basic settings that allow AWMS
to communicate with and manage your devices. Device-specific firmware files are often required or are highly
desirable. Furthermore, the use of Web Auth bundles is advantageous for deployment of Cisco Airespace/WLC
wireless LAN controllers when they are present on the network.
52 | Configuring AWMS
Default Description
None Defines the privileges the role has over the viewable APs. AWMS supports three
privilege levels, as follows:
Manage (Read/Write)—Manage users have read/write access to the viewable

devices and Groups. They can change all AWMS settings for the devices and
Groups they can view.
Audit (Read Only)—Audit users have read only access to the viewable devices and

Groups. Audit users have access to the APs/Devices > Audit page, which may
contain sensitive information including AP passwords.
Monitor (Read Only)—Monitor users have read-only access to devices and groups.

Monitor users cannot view the APs/Devices > Audit page which may contain
sensitive information, including AP passwords. Monitor-only users also have read-
only access to VisualRF.
None Defines the Top viewable folder for the role. The role is able to view all devices and
groups contained by the Top folder. The top folder and its subfolders must contain all of
the devices in any of the groups it can view.
NOTE: AWMS enables user roles to be created with access to folders within multiple
branches of the overall hierarchy. This feature assists non-administrator users who
support a subset of accounts or sites within a single AWMS deployment, such as help
desk or IT staff.
Prior to Version 6.3, AWMS user roles could be assigned only to a single top folder, such
as "West Coast" or "European Stores", for example. User roles can now be restricted to
multiple folders within the overall hierarchy, even if they do not share the same top-level
folder. Non-administrator users are only able to see data and users for devices within
their assigned subset of folders.
None Sets the RAPIDS privileges, which are set separately from the APs/Devices. This field
specifies the RAPIDS privileges for the role, and options are as follows:
None—Cannot view the RAPIDS tab or any Rogue APs.

Read Only—The user can view the RAPIDS pages but cannot make any changes to

rogue APs or perform OS scans.
Read/Write—The user may ignore, delete, override scores and perform OS scans.

No Sets the role to support helpdesk users, with parameters that are specific to the needs of
helpdesk personnel supporting users on a wireless network.
Yes Enables the Adobe Flash application for all users who are assigned this role. Adobe
Flash supports dynamic graphics on the Home > Overview page, VisualRF, Quickview
functions, and additional AWMS pages.
NOTE: This field is only visible if a specific flag is set in the AWMS database. By default
this option is hidden and flash is enabled for all users.
Allow AMPAdministrators can configure AP/Device Manager roles with read/write access to
accounts allow guest user accounts with no expiration, allow a sponsor to change the
with no sponsorship name, and print a custom message with the guest user badge.
