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
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. In prior AWMS releases, AWMS user roles could only be assigned to a single
top folder (such as "West Coast" or "European Stores"). You can restrict user roles to multiple folders within the
overall hierarchy even if they do not share the same top-level folder. Non-admin users are only able to see data
and users for devices within their assigned subset of folders.
Perform the following steps to view, add, edit, or delete user
Roles
:
1. Navigate to the
AMP Setup > Roles
page. This page displays all roles currently configured in AWMS.

2. Click
Add
to create a new role, click the pencil icon to edit an existing role, or select a role and click
Delete
to
remove that role from AWMS. When you click
Add
or the edit icon, the
Add Role
page appears, illustrated in
Figure 23
.
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.
In prior AWMS versions, user roles could be assigned only to a single top folder, such as "West Coast" or "European Stores", for
example. User roles can now 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.
