Creating a Local User

A local user in the controller refers to a registered user who may be given access to the controller hotspot. A user account contains a user's personal information, logon information, and the subscription package that he or she has been assigned. The controller's local user database can include 802.1X, WISPr, and Zero-IT users.

When you create a user account, you will be required to assign a subscription package to the user. Before creating a user account, Ruckus recommends creating at least one subscription package. See Creating a VLAN Pooling Profile for more information.
  1. Go to Clients > Users & Roles.
  2. Select the Local Users tab, and then select the zone for which you want to create the local user.
  3. Click Create.
    The Create User page appears.
