AirWave User Roles

The AMP Setup > Roles page defines the viewable devices, the operations that can be performed on devices, and
general AirWave access. User roles can be created that provide users with 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.

User Roles and VisualRF

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. VisualRF 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
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.
