Usage Profiles
The Usage Profiles allow you to provide levels of time access/data usage to different user accounts. For example, you can assign a usage profile that allows access during a working week day and not on a weekend. After usage profiles are created, you must change the sponsor user group to allow sponsors in that group to be able to provision accounts to the appropriate usage profiles created. Navigate to Network Access Policies > Usage Profiles and update the following configurations.
Time Usage
Configure the time usage profile for user accounts access restrictions.
- Enter the Name and Description of the new time profile; select the Timezone to which any account restrictions apply.
- Select any of the following available Account type options.
- Start End - Allows sponsors to define start and end times for account durations.
- From First Login - Allows sponsors to define a length of time for user access from their first login.
- From Creation - Allows sponsors to define a length of time for user access from the moment of account creation.
- Time Used - Allows sponsors to create a time period during which the user can login. For example, account can be valid for 2 hours and usable for any time within 24 hours from first login.
- Unlimited - Unlimited time profiles.
Note: In case of a usage profile with the account type as Start End, ensure that the time zone defined here is the same as that in the account creation page that is associated with this profile.
Time Restrictions
You can implement account restrictions in the Time Restrictions section. Guests cannot log in or are logged out during these periods.
Select the week day and specify the Start and End time to restrict guest access.
Data Usage
You can also add data usage restriction on the account based on time periods. A lifetime implies that the restriction is applicable to the full lifetime of the account, that is, as long as the account exists. An account expires when any of the configured limits is reached.
From the available options, determine whether to apply the following.
- Data Up - Apply a data usage up restriction to your profile in KB, MB or GB.
- Data Down - Apply a data usage down restriction to your profile in KB, MB or GB.
- Total Up & Down - Apply a total data usage restriction to your profile in KB, MB or GB.
