Cisco Spaces user account management feature is now enhanced to provide role-based user accounts. This role-based access control feature enables you to invite users with access rights to individual apps.You can now create user roles with different access rights to different apps. For example, you can create a user role with read and write permisision in the Captive Portals app, and read only permission in the Operational Insights app. You can create another user role with read only in Operational Insights and BLE Manager app. Similarly, you can create as many user roles you want combining various services provided. Previously, Cisco Spaces provided only certain predefined user roles, and there was no provision to create custom user roles.

In addition, for certain apps such as Captive Portals you can invite and manage the users from the particular app itself. The Captive Portals app has a User Management option to manage the users. The Captive Portals app has user roles Creative User and AccessCodeManager .

In the Cisco Spaces dashboard, the Users option to invite Cisco Spaces users is now renamed to Admin Management.

When a Cisco Spaces account is created, a Dashboard Admin Role user is created for the account with the e-mail ID provided. This Dashboard Admin can invite other users for Cisco Spaces.

Cisco Spaces provides only one default user role, Dashboard Admin Role.

• For the ACT license, by default, Dashboard Admin Role will have read and write access rights to the services, DNASpaces (including menu items in the left pane of the dashboard, and the apps Behavior Metrics, OpenRoaming, Location Analytics, Engagements, and Location Personas), CaptivePortals, and OperationsInsights.

• For the SEE (Base) license, by default, a Dashboard Admin Role will have access only to DNASpaces.

• If the Dashboard Admin Role requires access to any other services( apps) such as BLE Manager, you must contact the Cisco Spaces support team.
