If you upgrade from a previous ArubaOS release, your existing configuration may have different management roles.
The information in this section only describes the predefined management roles for this release.
Predefined Role Permissions
root This role permits access to all management functions (commands and
operations) on the controller.
read-only
This role permits access to CLI show commands or WebUI monitoring pages only.
guest-provisioning This role permits access to configuring guest users in the controller’s internal
database only. This user only has access via the WebUI to create guest accounts;
there is no CLI access.
Guest-provisioning tasks include creating or generating the user name and
password for a guest account as well as configuring when the account expires.
location-api-mgmt This role permits access to location API information and the CLI; however, you
cannot use any CLI commands. This role does not permit access to the WebUI.
Using a third-party location appliance, you can gather information about the
location of 802.11 stations.
To log in to the controller using a third-party location appliance, enter:
http[s]://<ipaddress>[:port]/screens/wms/wms.login.
You are prompted to enter your username and password (for example, the
username and password associated with the location API management role).
Once authenticated, you can use an API call to request location information from
the controller, for example:
http[s]://<ipaddress>[:port]/screens/wms/wms.cgi?opcode=wlm-get-
spot&campus-name=<campus id>&building-name<building
id>&mac=<client1>,<client2>....
