LABEL DESCRIPTION
User Name Type the user name for this user account. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters,
underscores(
_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-
sensitive. User names have to be different than user group names, and some words are reserved.
User Type Select what type of user this is. Choices are:
• admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the NXC.
• limited-admin - this user can look at the configuration of the NXC but not to change it.
• user - this user has access to the NXC’s services but cannot look at the configuration.
• guest - this user has access to the NXC’s services but cannot look at the configuration.
• ext-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP.
• ext-group-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP.
• guest-manager - this user can log in via the web configurator login screen and create dynamic
guest accounts using the Guest Manager screen that pops up.
• mac-address - an external server authenticates wireless clients based on their MAC addresses.
After authentication the NXC maps a wireless client to a MAC address user account (MAC role).
User-aware features control MAC address user access to specific resources.
