Blocking Devices on Meraki portal without admin

Hi everyone,

 

I have a requirement that is proving difficult to fulfil and I lack the access to confirm what is possible, so I'm hoping the community can help, or at least confirm what is possible.

 

I work in a security team and we see alerts showing some devices contacting malicious domains. These are connected to a Cisco WAP and discoverable on the Meraki dashboard search.

 

I want to create a way for these devices to be blocked, but my request ended up being denied as I was told that this action requires full admin rights on the portal.

 

Is this the case? Is there any method that could be used to allow a device block to be applied without needing full admin rights?

That's not possible, to make any change in Meraki Dashboard, you need to have full org access.

Hi @Make_IT_Simple

 

Thanks for confirming that. I can at least put the topic to rest and move on 🙂

I checked that link and noticed that one role may fit the bill in a sense:

 

Guest ambassador: User only able to see the list of Meraki authentication users, add users, update existing users, and authorize/deauthorize users on an SSID or client VPN. Ambassadors can also remove wireless users if they are an ambassador on all networks.

 

If we had the ability to kick a device off the network then that would be something we can do, but not have full org admin. Am I misunderstanding that role?

I don't believe that option will work for you. Just for testing, I did try that in my own dashboard and I couldn't do much with a guest ambassador user.
