User group objects

In addition to the admin user group, the following user groups are defined and use the RADIUS server for authentication:

• Engineering
• Staff
• IT

These groups will be used for wireless authentication, allowing those who belong to the IT and Engineering Active Directory User Groups to access the IT_WiFi and Engineering_WiFi networks respectively, while a third group will allow anyone part of the Staff user group to connect to Staff_WiFi.

IT and Engineering LAB networks are only available on WiFi through their respective networks.
