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.
Type AP/Device
Manager
Defines the type of role. AWMS supports the following role types:
AMP Administrator—The AMP Administrator has full access to AWMS and all of the
devices. Only the AMP Administrator can create new users or access the AMP Setup page.
AP/Device Manager—AP/Device Managers have access to a limited number of devices
and groups based on the Top folder and varying levels of control based on the Access
Level.
AirWave Management Client—The AirWave Management Client (AMC) software allows
WiFi-enabled devices to serve as additional sensors to gather data for RAPIDS. Use this
role type to set up a client to be treated as a user with the AMC role. The user information
defined in AMC must match the user with the Dell PowerConnect W Management Client
type.
Guest Access Sponsor—Limited-functionality role to allow helpdesk or reception desk
staff to grant wireless access to temporary personnel. This role only has access to the
defined top folder of APs.
AP/Device
Access Level
None Defines the privileges the role has over the viewable APs. AWMS supports three privilege
levels, as follows:
Manage (Read/Write)—Manage users can view and modify devices and Groups.
Audit (Read Only)—Audit users have read only access to the viewable devices and Groups.
Audit users have access to the APs/Devices > Audit page, which may contain sensitive
information including AP passwords.
Monitor (Read Only)—Monitor users have read-only access to devices and groups and
VisualRF. Monitor users cannot view the APs/Devices > Audit page which may contain
sensitive information, including passwords.
Top Folder None Defines the Top viewable folder for the role. The role is able to view all devices and groups
contained by the Top folder. The top folder and its subfolders must contain all of the devices in
any of the groups it can view.
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.
User roles can be restricted to multiple folders within the overall hierarchy, even if they do not
share the same top-level folder. Non-administrator users are only able to see data and users for
devices within their assigned subset of folders.
RAPIDS None Sets the RAPIDS privileges, which are set separately from the APs/Devices. This field specifies
the RAPIDS privileges for the role, and options are as follows:
None— Cannot view the RAPIDS tab or any Rogue APs.
Read Only—The user can view the RAPIDS pages but cannot make any changes to rogue
APs or perform OS scans.
Read/Write—The user may ignore, delete, override scores and perform OS scans.
Helpdesk No Sets the role to support helpdesk users, with parameters that are specific to the needs of
helpdesk personnel supporting users on a wireless network.
Enable Adobe
Flash
Yes Enables the Adobe Flash application for all users who are assigned this role. Adobe Flash
supports dynamic graphics on the Home > Overview page, VisualRF, Quickview functions, and
additional AWMS pages.
NOTE: This field is only visible if a specific flag is set in the AWMS database. By default this
option is hidden and Flash is enabled for all users.
Allow creation
of Guest Users
Yes If this option is enabled, users with an assigned role of Monitoring or Audit can be given access
to guest user account creation along with the option to allow a sponsor to change its
username. A custom message can also be included. The Guest User Preferences section does
not apear if Guest User Configuration is disabled in AMP Setup > General.
