Adding and Managing a Custom Privilege Group

A Privilege Group determines the venues and customers that a role can access, enabling an administrator to manage devices. By default, system-defined privilege groups are available, and you can also create custom privilege groups.

  1. On the navigation bar, select Administration > Account Management > Users & Privileges.
    The Account Management page is displayed.
  2. Click the Privilege Groups sub-tab.
    The following information is displayed:
    • Name: Displays the name of the privilege group.
      Note: Once a privilege group is created and a member is assigned, the Name cannot be modified; however, other parameters can be edited.
    • Description: Displays a description of the privilege group.
    • Role: Displays the system-defined roles and custom roles associated with the privilege group.
      Note: Prime Admin is supported only for MSP customers.
    • Scope: Displays the venues that can be accessed by the members of the group.
    • Group Type: Displays whether the group is system-defined or custom.
    • Members: Displays the number of administrators or users associated with the group.
    You can filter the list of privilege group roles by selecting one of the options from the drop-down menu of the Role and Group Type fields. The role options include Administrator, DPSK Manager, Guest Manager, Prime Admin, Read Only, and all custom roles. The group type options are System and Custom.

  3. Click Add Privilege Group.
    The New Privilege Group page is displayed. Complete the following steps before proceeding to the Scope section:
    • In the Name field, enter the name of the group.
      Note: You cannot create a custom privilege group with the same name as a system-defined privilege group. The name must be unique and cannot contain spaces; you can use underscores (_).
    • In the Description field, type a short description for the group.
    • From Role, select the system-defined roles or custom roles from the drop-down list.
  4. Scope: Define the venues and customers that this role or privilege group can access.
    The Scope section controls what venues or customers a member can see or manage. The assigned scope directly impacts permissions, visibility, and control levels.
    • All Venues: This is the default option. Members of the Privilege Group with this scope can access all venues.
    • Specific Venues: Selecting Specific Venues enables the Select venues hyperlink. Click the hyperlink to open the Select Venue sidebar, then select one or more venues using the checkboxes. You can use the Search option to display only the table entries matching the specified venue; enter a minimum of two characters. Click Save Selection to confirm, after which members with this scope can access only the selected venues. Use Change to modify the scope later if needed.
  5. Click Add.
    The newly created custom privilege group is added to the list of groups in the Privilege Groups tab. A notification is displayed on the Activities page, accessible via the icon at the top right corner of the RUCKUS One web interface.
After a privilege group is created, the Members column in the Privilege Groups tab displays 0 until you add users to the group. Once users are added, the display automatically updates. Refer to Adding and Managing an Administrator for instructions to add and manage privilege group members.
