I want to be able to log in from any of my hotspots as an administrative user, without having to supply a credit card to pay myself.

I can assign the administrator account to a monthly profile and then manually credit him with an exorbitant payment, but then the administrator is subject to the same speed, time, and data-cap limitations as a normal monthly user.

I can create an administrative profile with none of these limits, but then it appears on the user sign-up page. Then I have to assign it an exorbitant price, which just looks silly.

How do I do this?

(Also, I have noticed that the "Name for users" field in the profile doesn't seem to do anything. No matter what I put in there, the user sign-up page shows the actual name.)

Just create local hotspot 'admin' account.

Note, first local HotSpot Users database is consulted, then User Manager database.
It means that if you have configuration in '/ ip hotspot user print', users will be able to authenticate in HotSpot using this locally held data.

HTH,

Just create local hotspot 'admin' account.

I was so involved trying to make all this work in User Manager I never thought of making it work in hotspot. Thank you!
