Add a User Group

Before you begin

Extreme Networks supports user groups for PPSK (Private Pre-Shared Key) users and RADIUS users. Configure PPSK user groups in the User Groups section of a Wireless Network (SSID). Configure RADIUS user groups in one of two places in ExtremeCloud IQ, depending on where you intend to store the RADIUS users:

  • In the User Groups section of a Wireless Network (SSID) when you want to store them in the ExtremeCloud IQ Authentication Service cloud database.
  • In Configure > Users > User Groups > Add and then reference them in AAA server profiles that you apply to APs configured as RADIUS servers when you want to store users there. See About RADIUS Authentication.

About this task

Administrators and operators can configure ExtremeCloud IQ user groups with limited access privileges for VIPs and non-employees such as guests, visitors, and contractors who request network access. Use this task to create user groups for a selected network policy or for all network policies.
Note

Note

After a user group has been configured, you can only modify the name and description. This prevents issues with creating passwords. To modify other settings, you must create a new user group.

Procedure

  1. Enter the user group's name.
  2. For Password DB Location, select Cloud when you want the password database to reside in the cloud, and Local when you want the login credentials to be stored on all APs using this SSID.
    You must select Local when you are creating a private client group in this user group (see Classification Rules Overview).
  3. If you selected Cloud, see Configure a Cloud User Group for more information.
  4. If you selected Local, see Configure a Local User Group for more information.
  5. Select SAVE after completing Step 3 or 4.

What to do next

If this is part of creating a network policy, return to complete that configuration.
