Hi all, I have requested a new feature in the dashboard but wanted to post it here to see if anyone else with this problem thinks this is a good idea, or if anyone has found another way to overcome this.
As we know, the Sponsored Guest Feature is awesome, but lacks reporting and controls. It is not possible to view the Users Name or email address used to request access, and that leaves us with just a device name and person who approved it to look at live. We can't even see authorized Guests who are not currently joined. I know this has been kicking around for quite a while so I assume there is a good technical reason for this, i.e these are not credentials as such, and instead just used to create an account based on the mac address of the device (something like that anyway)
So I was thinking it would be great if we could do this:
If we can use the "Sign On With Meraki Auth" feature and turn on "allow users to create their own accounts", and then in addition add an option to allow the account to be authorised by a Sponsor chosen by the Guest at the time of login (within an email domain). So it is the same process and the current Sponsored Guest, but a Meraki Account is created in the process and used to Web Auth on. This way we can see the user and device. It would need to option to put time limits on the accounts so they can auto expire but that doesn't sound too difficult as I seem to be able to put expiry dates on manually after an account is created. Good idea or no?
For anyone reading this who has the same problems, has anyone found another way to get better reporting? Maybe with a 3rd party splash page?
Cheers
Matt
