Setting an Allowed Location Configuration

Extreme Networks‘ WiNG and NSight applications may have the same users with different permissions defined in each application. Various user roles are supported in WiNG (superuser, system-admin, network-admin, securityadmin, device-provisioning-admin, helpdesk and monitor). With NSight, a user logging into the NSight UI should also have an access control restriction based on the role they‘re assigned. For example, a WiNG user with helpdesk privileges should have access to only the site (RF Domain) in which the helpdesk is situated, and the location tree should contain only one RF Domain. Similarly, when a user responsible for a set of sites logs in NSight, their location tree needs to contain the RF Domains for which they‘re responsible.

To set an allowed location configuration:

Select the Allowed Locations tab from the Management Policy screen.
The Allowed Location screen lists existing users and their permitted locations.
Select Add to create a new allowed location, Edit to modify an existing location or Delete to permanently remove a user name and location from the list of those available.

Set the following allowed location parameters:

Name	Define a 32 character maximum user name whose access is a mapped to a specific site (RF Domain).
Locations	Create locations and use the navigation arrows to move them into the list of those enabled once saved.

Select OK to update the allowed location configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
