Switch Management 7-25
7.6.1.3 Creating a Guest Admin and Guest User
Optionally, create a guest administrator for creating guest users with specific usernames, start and expiry
times and passwords. Each guest user can be assigned access to specific user groups to ensure they are
limited to just the group information they need, and nothing additional.
To create a guest administrator:
1. Select Management Access > Users from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Add button within the Local Users tab.
3. Enter the new guest-admin login name for the user in the Username field.
4. Enter the authentication password for the guest-admin in the Password field and reconfirm the same
again in the Confirm Password field.
5. Assign the guest-admin WebUser Administrator access.
When the guest-admin user logs in, they are redirected to a Guest User Configuration screen, wherein
start and end user permissions can be defined in respect to specific users.
6. Add guest users by name, start date and time, expiry date and time and user group.
NOTE: A guest user added from switch Web UI will be 5 minutes ahead of the switch's
current time.
NOTE: To create guest users, a guest administrator must be assigned a WebUser
Administrator access mode. None of the other modes launch the required Guest User
Configuration screen upon login.
