Sponsored Registration
Sponsored registration is configured in the Guest Registration and Secure Guest Access views in the Edit Portal Configuration window. An admin\sponsor email address is specified, which is typically the network NAC administrator, for example "IT@CompanyA.com." This email address is always notified, in addition to any sponsor email address that is entered by the end user when they register to the network. Administrators can also specify a sponsor when manually registering an end user via the Registration Administration web page.
When an end-system is registered to the network, it remains registered until it is administratively revoked. Because of this, it may be desirable to allow sponsors to view, delete, and add registered end-systems that they have or will sponsor. This is achieved by granting sponsor access to the Registration Administration web page (using the Administration view in the Edit Portal Configuration window). Administrators can also limit a sponsor's view to only their own sponsored end users, also from the Administration view.
The Sponsor Administration
