Controller access for Social WiFi
Overview
If you’re configuring Social WiFi on Ubiquiti UniFi controllers newest version, you will see that we require the username and password to access the controller from our panel. If you don’t want to share your personal credentials, please create a user account with this guide.
Adding the new user account
Go to OS Settings(1) -> Admins & Users(2).
In Admins tab, you should see a table of current admins. Click on + Add Admin. You should see a pop up window on the right side, configure as follows:
| Restrict to local access only | Checked |

| Password | *Set the password for the account |
| Use a pre-defined role | Unchecked |
| Network | Full Management* |
| Protect | None |
| OS Setting | None |
| Save as a pre-defined role | Unchecked |
*To restrict access to a single site, select “Site Admin for (…)” and choose the specific site where you wish to configure Social WiFi.
Now, click Add.
As you can see, the account has been added. You can now use it to integrate with Social WiFi without giving out your personal credentials.
