Guest type

Select the type of guests whose accounts you are creating. If only one guest type is configured by your system administrator, you can only use this type to create guest accounts.

Cisco ISE includes these default guest types to map guests to their appropriate network access privileges:

• Daily: Default settings allow guests network access for just 1-5 days.

• Weekly: Default settings allow guests network access for a couple of weeks.

• Contractor: Default settings allow guests network access for up to a year.

Your system administrator might restrict this list or create additional guest types.

The system administrator can set up guest types to Allow guest to bypass the Guest portal. In this case, the guest accounts created using this guest type are enabled automatically, and their states display as Active, even if the guests have not yet logged into a Cisco ISE web portal. If this option is not configured, the accounts are not enabled until the guests actually log into a web portal and their initial states display as Created.

SMS provider

This field displays only if more than one SMS provider has been configured for selection by your system administrator. If only one provider is configured, it will not display as it is the only option available for this Sponsor portal.

If you know your guest's cellular provider and it is listed under SMS Provider, select it to send a SMS notification with the login credentials to the guest. If the cellular provider is not listed, then select the default global provider listed. Include the country code of the guest's phone number if using the default global provider. The supported phone number formats include: +1 ### ### ####, ###-###-####, (###) ### ####, ##########, 1########## and so on.

Group tag

Groups certain guests accounts for tracking and searching purposes. For instance, you can assign a tag to all the guests attending training at a certain location. You can then search for these guests to either extend their account duration if the training is not completed in time or delete their accounts after the training is finished.

Location

This field displays only if more than one location has been configured for selection by your system administrator. If only one location is configured, it will not display as it is the only option available for this Sponsor portal.

Select the location to be used for the guest accounts. This determines the time zones that applies to the guests and helps define valid time ranges and other time parameters that apply to their accounts.

The time left for a guest account is related to the specific location assigned to it, and not the sponsor's local time.

SSID

This field displays only if more than one SSID has been configured for selection by your system administrator. If only one SSID is configured, it will not display as it is the only option available for this Sponsor portal.

Select the SSID of the network that guests will log into. This SSID is included in the account notifications sent to the guests.

Language

This field displays only if more than one language has been configured for selection by your system administrator. If only one language is configured, it will not display as it is the only option available for this Sponsor portal.

Choose the language used when sending account notifications (email, text, and print) to the guests.

Access information—From

Displays first ogin to indicate that the start and end time stamp is not set until the guest logs in and after the first login the guest account is activated. The From field is applicable to all guest types and Guest Information (Known, Random, and Import).

Access information—Duration

Displays the maximum duration that is allowed for a guest account.
