Local Users

A local user in the controller refers to a registered user who may be given access to the controller hotspot. A user account comprises the personal information of the user, logon details, and the subscription package that is assigned to the user. The local user database of the controller can include 802.1X and WISPr authentication.
When you create a user account, you must assign a subscription package to the user. Before creating a user account, RUCKUS recommends creating atleast one subscription package. Refer to Subscription Package for more information.
