Managing User Accounts
Temporary user accounts are created in the internal database on the controller. You can create a user role which will
allow a receptionist to create temporary user accounts. Guests can use the accounts to log into a captive portal login
page to gain Internet access.
See "Creating Guest Accounts" on page 650 for more information about configuring guest provisioning users and
administering guest accounts.
