Editing group access permissions
The Access Policy screen provides a mechanism for modifying an existing group’s access

day. Ten unique access intervals can be defined for each existing group.
To update a group’s access permissions:
1. Select User Authentication -> Radius Server -> Access Policy from the menu tree.
2. Select an existing group from within the groups field.
3. Select the Edit button.
The Edit Access Policy screen displays.
4. Define up to 10 access policies for the selected group within the Time Based Access Policy
field.
Use the drop-down menus on the left-hand side of the screen to define the day of the week for
which each policy applies. If continual access is required, select the All Days option. If
continual access is required during Monday through Friday, but not Saturday or Sunday, select
the Weekdays option.
Use the Start Time and End Time values to define the access interval (in HHMM format) for
each access policy. Each policy for a given group should have unique intervals. Policies can be
created for different intervals on the same day of the week.
Groups The Groups field displays the names of those existing groups that
can have access intervals applied to them. Click the Edit button to
display a screen designed to create access intervals for specific
days and hours. A mechanism also exists for mapping specific
WLANs to these intervals.
