Configuring Roles for Employee, Guest and Application Users

The Aruba system is unique; it combines user-based security as a part of the WLAN model. When a user is authenticated, using one of the methods discussed in the previous section, a role is applied to the user that is enforced via the firewall and the defined policies for that user.

Employee Role

Users who are company employees can be granted a role based on their specific job function, or simply be given a universal ‘employee role’. Additional granularity can be applied, such as permitting a user in engineering to access the engineering subnets but not the finance or accounting servers.

In smaller organizations, users will most likely be placed in a single user subnet that has access to all internal and external resources.
