What Next?
Go to additional tabs in the AMP Setup section to continue additional setup configurations.
Complete the required configurations in this chapter before proceeding. Dell support remains available to you for
any phase of AWMS installation.
Creating AWMS User Roles
The AMP Setup > Roles page defines the viewable devices, the operations that can be performed on devices, and
general AWMS access. VisualRF uses the same user roles as defined for AWMS—users can see floor plans that
contain an AP to which they have access in AWMS, although only visible APs appear on the floor plan.
Users can also see any building that contains a visible floor plan, and any campus that contains a visible building.
When a new role is added to AWMS, VisualRF must be restarted for the new user to be enabled. Refer to the
VisualRF User Guide in Home > Documentation for additional information.
User roles can be created that have access to folders within multiple branches of the overall hierarchy. This
feature assists non-administrative users, such as help desk or IT staff, who support a subset of accounts or sites
within a single AWMS deployment. You can restrict user roles to multiple folders within the overall hierarchy
Role None Specifies the User Role that defines the Top viewable folder, type and access level of the user
specified in the previous field.
The admin user defines user roles on the AMP Setup > Roles page, and each user in the system is
assigned to a role.
Password None Sets the password for the user being created or edited. Enter an alphanumeric string without
spaces, and enter the password again in the Confirm Password field.
NOTE: Because the default user's password is identical to the name, Dell PowerConnect W strongly
recommends that your change this password.
Name None Allows you to define an optional and alphanumeric text field that takes note of the user's actual
name.
Email Address None Allows you to specify a specific email address that will propagate throughout many additional
pages in AWMS for that user, including reports, triggers, and alerts.
Phone None Allows you to enter an optional phone number for the user.
Notes None Enables you to cite any additional notes about the user, including the reason they were granted
access, the user's department, or job title.

Setting Default Description
NOTE: AWMS enables user roles to be created with access to folders within multiple branches of the overall hierarchy. This
feature assists non-administrator users who support a subset of accounts or sites within a single AWMS deployment, such as help
desk or IT staff.
NOTE: In VisualRF > Setup > Server Settings, a new flag added in AWMS 7.2 allows you to restrict the visibility of empty floor plans
to the role of the user who created them. In previous versions, a floor plan without APs could be visible to all users. By default, this
setting is set to No.
