Setting an Allowed Location Configuration

About this task

The Allowed Locations option is a means to control a user's access to locations (RF Domains/sites/tree-node paths) within your managed network. Use this option to configure an allowed-locations tag and associate one or more locations with the tag. After you have created an allowed-locations tag, use the Administrators screen to apply these tags to users.

Note

The allowed-locations tag is ONLY applicable to the WiNG 'Device Provisioning' user. By applying the allowed-locations tag, the device provisioning user will only be able to provision devices that fall within his/her purview of responsibility.

Note

However, if you are an NSight admin and you are using WiNG 5.9.2 and earlier version, you can apply the Allowed Locations tag for all NSight user roles.

Note

For information on user roles and how to configure them, see Creating an Administrator Configuration.
