Assign Roles to a Site

A role is a set of network access services, such as authentication type, that can be applied at various points in a policy-enabled network. Roles are usually named for a type of user such as Student, Staff, or Guest. (Roles can optionally contain rules that provide different treatments for different packet types to which a single role is applied.)

When you create a site, a default role is applied. If you are using a RADIUS server, you must configure the default role for the site. Otherwise, this procedure is optional.

To assign and optionally configure roles for a site:

  1. Select Configure > Sites from the menu.
    The Sites list displays.
  2. From the Sites list, select siteName > Configure Site, or select Add to add a new site.
  3. On the Roles tab, assign a role.
