The Status is the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.

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.

NOTE

A guest user added from switch Web UI will be 5 minutes ahead of the switch's current time.

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.

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.

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.
