# Active Guests

## What is it for?

**Active Guests** shows the guests connected to your Wi-Fi right now: who, since when, which IP address they received and how much data they downloaded and uploaded. If your firewall is connected to the panel, you can also disconnect a guest from here.

## When do I use it?

- You want to see how many people are using the Wi-Fi at the moment.
- A guest says "I have no internet" and you want to check whether they appear connected.
- You want to find a connection that uses a lot of data.
- You want to cut off a guest who causes trouble right away (only on devices whose firewall is connected to the panel).

## Before you start

- The list shows the guests of the selected device. The device name is shown in the heading (example: **Useroam Demo**). To see another location, change the device on the [Device Selection](/books/getting-started/page/device-selection) screen first.
- Employees on the [Excluded Users](/books/guests/page/excluded-users) list are not shown here.
- Guest numbers and device addresses (MAC) are masked under the Turkish data protection law, KVKK (example: `5417****71`, `6F:2D:B5:**:**:**`).

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Active Guests**. The green badge at the top right shows the current number of connections (example: **10 active sessions**). ![Active Guests in the Guests menu and the active sessions badge](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-au-menu-en.png)
2. Look through the table. To find a guest, type the visible part of their number or their IP address in the search box at the top right (its label is still Turkish: **Ara:**). Choose how many rows to show with the box at the top left (10, 25, 50, 100 or **All**). On narrow screens such as phones some columns are hidden; press the green **+** at the start of a row to open them under the row. Click a column heading to sort by that column; for example click **↓ Downloaded** to find who used the most data. ![Active guest table, search and row count](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/QYDmz-au-tablo-en.png)
3. The list is a snapshot of the moment you opened the page and does not refresh by itself. Reload the page in your browser to see the current state. The note under the table says the same: "This is a snapshot taken when the page was opened. Refresh the page to update it." ![Snapshot note](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-au-not-en.png)
4. If your firewall is connected to the panel, an extra column appears (its heading is still Turkish: **İşlem**, "Action"). To disconnect a guest press **Disconnect** on their row and confirm "… do you want to terminate this firewall session?". The button turns into **Terminated** and the row fades. The guest can sign in again if they want; to block them permanently use the [Blocked Users](/books/guests/page/blocked-users) screen. ![Action column and Disconnect button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-au-kes-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**The guest left but still appears on the list.**  
Some firewalls do not report when a connection ends; such connections can stay open on the list for a long time (the **Duration** column shows days and the data counter does not grow). On devices whose firewall is connected to the panel, the list is read live from the firewall, so this does not happen.

**I cannot see the Disconnect button.**  
The button only appears on devices with a firewall API connection. See [Sophos Firewall API Setup](/books/settings/page/sophos-firewall-api-setup).

**The guest I disconnected connected again.**  
Disconnecting only ends the current connection. If you do not want the guest back, add their number to [Blocked Users](/books/guests/page/blocked-users).

**Where do I see past connections?**  
On the [All Connections](/books/guests/page/all-connections) and [Device Reports](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/device-reports) screens.

# SMS / WhatsApp Users

## What is it for?

The **SMS/Whatsapp** list shows the guests who signed up to your Wi-Fi with their phone number (SMS or WhatsApp verification). From here you can approve, block or delete a guest, or change their details, group and password.

## When do I use it?

- You want to see whether a guest is registered and when they signed up.
- You want to stop (block) a guest's logins or allow them again.
- You want to move a guest to a longer-lasting group or delete their record.

## Before you start

- The list shows the guests of the selected device.
- Numbers, first names and last names are masked under the Turkish data protection law, KVKK (example: `5306****15`, `Yu***`). If you are allowed to see full values, open them with the eye icon; every reveal is written to the [Audit Log](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/audit-log).
- Employees on the [Excluded Users](/books/guests/page/excluded-users) list are not shown here.

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **SMS/Whatsapp**. ![SMS/Whatsapp in the Guests menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-su-menu-en.png)
2. To find a guest, type in the **Search...** box at the top right. The newest sign-up is at the top. The **Status** column shows whether the guest can sign in; the **Registration Type** column shows whether they signed up by SMS (phone icon) or WhatsApp (WhatsApp icon). ![SMS/Whatsapp guest list, search, Status and Registration Type](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-su-liste-en.png)
3. Use the buttons at the end of the row. Hover over a button to see its name: yellow **Disable User** (green **Enable User** if blocked), red **Delete User**, blue **Edit User**. If the guest is waiting for approval, a green **Confirm** button appears first. ![Row buttons: disable, delete, edit](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-su-butonlar-en.png)
4. When you press Edit, the **User Information** tab opens. Change the guest's details and press **Save**. ![User Information tab and Save](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-su-duzenle-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**The guest is on the list but cannot sign in.**  
Check the **Status** column. If it is **Passive** the guest is blocked; press **Enable User**. If it is **Waiting for Approval**, approve them.

**Will a deleted guest come back?**  
If the guest connects and verifies by SMS/WhatsApp again, they are added as a new record. If you do not want them back, block instead of deleting.

**Can I send a bulk message to the guests on this list?**  
Yes, only to guests who gave permission: use the Opted-in Guests and Bulk Send screens under **Bumerang**.

**I pressed Save and a red "Could not save" appeared.**  
The change was not saved. Check that the device the guest is registered on is selected in the top menu, reload the page and try again. You cannot change the username or the device IP address on this screen; if a guest's username has changed, they need to sign up as a new record.

# Blocked Users

## What is it for?

**Blocked Users** is the list of people you do not want on your Wi-Fi. When a number or user name on this list tries to sign in, the login is rejected. Here you can block someone manually or remove a block.

## When do I use it?

- You want to stop a guest who causes trouble or misuses the network from connecting again.
- You want to block a number in advance, before it has ever connected.
- You want to remove the block of a guest who was blocked by mistake.

## Before you start

- A block only applies to the selected device. The top of the page shows the device, for example "Active device: Useroam Demo". To block the same person at another location, select that device and repeat.
- Blocking stops the guest's **next** sign-in. If they are connected right now, they are not dropped automatically; on devices whose firewall is connected to the panel you can drop them at once with **Disconnect** on the [Active Guests](/books/guests/page/active-guests) screen.
- This menu item is shown to users who are allowed to see the **SMS/Whatsapp** list.

## Step by step: blocking a number

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Blocked Users**. ![Blocked Users in the Guests menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-ek-menu-en.png)
2. In the **Block Manually** card, type the number in **Username / phone number** (example: `5321234567`). A leading 0 or 90 and spaces or dashes are cleaned automatically. Press **Block**. A green "Blocked: 5321234567" message appears at the top. ![Block Manually card and Block button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-ek-elle-en.png)
3. The blocked person appears in the list below. The number in the heading is the total count (example: **Blocked Users (2)**). To find someone, type in the **Search...** box on the right. ![Blocked users list and Remove block button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-ek-liste-en.png)
4. To remove a block, press **Remove block** on the row and confirm "Remove this block?". The message "Block removed." appears; the person can sign in on their next attempt.

## Another way: blocking from the guest list

On the [SMS / WhatsApp Users](/books/guests/page/sms-whatsapp-users) list, every guest row has a yellow button with a cross icon; hovering over it shows **Disable User**. A guest blocked this way appears on this list with its source (example: **SMS**). On a blocked guest's row the button turns green (**Enable User**) and removes the block.

## Frequently asked questions

**I blocked the guest but they are still online.**  
A block stops new sign-ins. To end their open connection now, use [Active Guests](/books/guests/page/active-guests); if there is no disconnect button, the connection ends when its time runs out or the device leaves the network.

**How should I type the number?**  
Any way you like: `0532 123 45 67`, `905321234567` or `5321234567`. They are all saved as the same number.

**Does the blocked person get a message?**  
No. They only see on the login screen that they cannot sign in.

**Where can I see who blocked someone?**  
The [Audit Log](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/audit-log) lists block and unblock actions together with who did them.

# Hotel Guests

## What is it for?

The **Hotel Guests** list shows hotel guests who sign in to the Wi-Fi with their room number and ID details. You can follow who is online during the stay, which room they are in and when their access ends. You can also block, delete or edit a guest.

## When do I use it?

- You want to check whether the guest in a room is registered on the Wi-Fi.
- A guest extends their stay and you want to change the check-out date.
- You want to stop a guest's sign-ins.

## Before you start

- The list fills on devices that use hotel sign-in (sign-in with room number or a hotel management system connection). If you do not use this sign-in method, the list stays empty and shows **No Record**.
- ID numbers, first names and last names are masked under the Turkish data protection law, KVKK.
- The list heading and the **Cinsiyet** (gender) column are still Turkish in the English interface.

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Hotel Guests**. ![Hotel Guests in the Guests menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-ou-menu-en.png)
2. To find a guest, type the room number in the **Search...** box at the top right. Use the buttons at the end of the row: yellow **Disable User**, red **Delete User**, blue **Edit User** (hover to see their names). The edit screen is the same as the one described on [SMS / WhatsApp Users](/books/guests/page/sms-whatsapp-users): **User Information** and **Group and Password** tabs. ![Hotel guest list and row buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-ou-liste-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**The guest checked out but is still on the list.**  
The list also shows past records. The Wi-Fi access of a guest whose check-out date has passed ends; the record staying on the list does not mean they still have access.

**The list is empty.**  
Your device may not use hotel sign-in. To set it up see the **Hotel Solution** book or contact support.

On the [Local User Report](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/local-user-report) screen.

**Does deleting a Staff WiFi account also close its certificate?**  
No, deleting the account does not revoke the certificate. To close the employee's access for certain, first press **Revoke** on the [Staff WiFi](/books/staff-wi-fi-administration/page/certificates-and-staff) screen.

# Pending Approval

## What is it for?

**Pending Approval** shows guests who signed up to the Wi-Fi but whose access waits for your approval. A guest you approve can go online; one you do not approve cannot.

## When do I use it?

- If guest sign-in on your captive portal requires administrator approval, to approve each new sign-up.
- To delete a sign-up you do not recognise without approving it.

## Before you start

- The list only fills on devices where approval-based sign-in is on. If you do not use it, the list stays empty and shows **No Record**.
- For the actions on this screen your permission profile needs the Pending Approval permission.
- The list heading ("Onay Bekleyen Kullanıcılar") and the values in the **Type** column are still Turkish in the English interface.

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Pending Approval**. ![Pending Approval in the Guests menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-wa-menu-en.png)
2. If you recognise the guest, press the green **Confirm** button on their row. The guest leaves the list; a guest who signed up by SMS receives a login code. If you do not recognise them, delete the record with the red **Delete User** (it does not ask). The blue **Edit User** opens the record's details. ![Guests pending approval and Confirm button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-wa-liste-en.png)

# Groups

## What is it for?

**Groups** are rule sets that decide how long your guests can stay connected. Every guest or user belongs to a group; when the group's **Validity** time runs out, the connection ends and the guest signs in again. On your firewall, rules such as speed and quota are also linked to the group name.

## When do I use it?

- You want to give guests a time limit such as "2 hours of free internet".
- You want an unlimited group for staff or long-stay guests.
- To prepare the group you will choose when creating new users or bulk users.
- To change the time of an existing group or delete a group you no longer use.

## Before you start

- Groups are per device: the selected device's groups are listed. For another location, change the device on the [Device Selection](/books/getting-started/page/device-selection) screen first.
- The group name must be **exactly the same** as the user group name on your firewall; the firewall matches speed and quota rules by this name. Spaces in the name are removed when saving (example: `Guest 2 Hours` is saved as `Guest2Hours`). So give the name without spaces (example: `Guest-2Hours`).
- **Open Group**, shown in light blue on the list, is the system's default group; it cannot be edited or deleted.

## Step by step: creating a new group

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Groups**. Press the green **Create New Group** at the top of the page. ![Groups screen and Create New Group button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-menu-en.png)
2. Fill in **Group Name** (example: `Guest-2Hours`) and **Group Description** (example: `Daily guest, 2 hours`). Type a number in **Validity** (example: `2`) and pick **Hours** or **Minutes** in the **Duration** list next to it. Press **Save**. The group is added to the list. ![New group form and Save](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-yeni-en.png)
3. If you do not want a time limit, turn on the **Unlimited** switch. The Validity box is hidden and the group has no time limit; the list shows **Unlimited**. ![Unlimited switch](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-sinirsiz-en.png)
4. To change a group, press the blue pencil (**Edit Group**) on the right of its row. To delete it, use the red trash button (**Delete Group**). ![Group list with edit and delete buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-liste-en.png)
5. On the edit screen (its heading is still Turkish: **Grup Düzenleme**) change the name, description or time and press **Save**. ![Edit group screen](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-duzenle-en.png)
6. When you press the trash button, a window asks "Seçilen grup silinecektir. Onaylıyor musunuz?" (the selected group will be deleted, do you confirm?; this window is Turkish only). Press **Ok** to delete. To cancel, click outside the window or press Esc. ![Group delete confirmation window](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-gr-sil-en.png)

## Extra fields depending on the device

- **Sophos with the firewall API connected:** the form also lets you pick firewall policies: **Quota** (internet time), **QoS (Bandwidth)**, **Access Duration** (access time) and **Data Amount** (data quota). Anything you do not pick stays **Unlimited (no policy)**. The **Yeni Politika** (New Policy) button creates a new policy on the firewall: choose its type (**QoS (Bandwidth)**, **Internet Time**, **Access Time**, **Data Quota**); for bandwidth you are asked for **Limit (upper cap)**, **Bandwidth (Mbps)** and **Priority** (**High**, **Low**, **Real time**). When you save, the group is also created on the firewall with the same name. For setup see [Sophos Firewall API Setup](/books/settings/page/sophos-firewall-api-setup).
- **MikroTik:** the form shows a **MikroTik Speed and Quota Settings** card: **Download speed** and **Upload speed** (example: `10M`), **Total quota (MB)**, **Idle timeout (min)**, **Simultaneous devices** and the advanced **Profile on device** and **Address list**. No limit is applied for fields you leave empty. These values are sent to the guest at sign-in; nothing is written to the device.
- **Other firewalls:** only name, description and time. Define speed and quota rules on your firewall for the user group with the same name.

## Frequently asked questions

**I pressed Save but no group was created and the form opened again.**  
A group with the same name may already exist on this device. The screen shows no warning in this case; check the list and use a different name.

**I deleted a group. What happens to its guests?**  
Users and settings linked to the deleted group (for example the group selected in SMS settings) are left without a group. Before deleting, move those settings to another group.

**How do I set a speed limit for guests?**  
From the group form on Sophos with the firewall API connected and on MikroTik; on other firewalls on the firewall's own screen, for the user group with the same name as this group.

**Where are groups used?**  
They are chosen on the [New User](/books/guests/page/new-user), [Bulk Users](/books/guests/page/bulk-users) and [SMS Settings](/books/settings/page/sms-settings) screens.

# Coupon Codes

## What is it for?

**Coupon Codes** creates single-use Wi-Fi login codes to hand out to guests. You download the codes as a PDF, print them and give them to guests on paper or a receipt. The guest types the code on the login screen and stays online for the time you set.

## When do I use it?

- You want to give short-term Wi-Fi to guests who do not want to give a phone number, or to an event.
- You want to give Wi-Fi together with a service such as breakfast, a meeting or a waiting lounge.
- You want to track how many codes were used.

## Before you start

- For coupon login to work, the coupon login option must be on for your captive portal. If your login screen has no coupon box, contact support.
- Codes are created for the selected device.

## Step by step: creating coupons

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Coupon Codes**. Press the green **Coupon Creation** button. ![Coupon Codes and Coupon Creation button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-tk-menu-en.png)
2. Fill in the **New Coupon** form: **Title** (example: `Breakfast-Coupon`), **Description**, **Number of Coupons** (how many codes, example: `50`), **Character Length** (characters per code, 6 by default) and **Character Type** (**All**, **Letters Only**, **Numbers Only**, **Lowercase Letters Only**, **Uppercase Letters Only**). The **Unlimited** switch is on by default; to set a time limit, turn it off and choose **Validity** and **Duration** (**Hours** / **Minutes**).

## Frequently asked questions

**The guest types the code but cannot sign in.**  
Check in Coupon Detail that the code is unused; it may have expired or already been used. If there is no coupon box on the login screen, coupon login is not on; contact support.

**Can one code be used by several guests?**  
No, codes are single-use.

**What is the difference between coupons and Bulk Users?**  
With a coupon the guest types one code. With Bulk Users every guest gets a user name and a password.

# Bulk Users

## What is it for?

**Bulk Users** creates many Wi-Fi user names and passwords in one go. The accounts download as printable PDF cards that you hand out to guests, training participants or event visitors.

## When do I use it?

- You need dozens of accounts for a training, meeting or event.
- You want to give guests Wi-Fi with a card, without phone verification.
- You want to adjust how the cards look for your business (**Bilet Tasarımı**, ticket design).

## Before you start

- You need a group for the accounts' time and speed rules. If you have none, create one on [Groups](/books/guests/page/groups) first.
- For guests to sign in with a user name and password, that sign-in must be on for your login screen. If your login screen has no such boxes, contact support.

## Step by step: creating bulk accounts

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Bulk Users**. Press the green **New Bulk Users** button. ![Bulk Users, New Bulk Users and ticket design buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-mu-menu-en.png)

## Step by step: changing the card design (Bilet Tasarımı)

This screen is in Turkish only; the English names below are for guidance.

1. Press **Bilet Tasarımı** above the list. Settings open on the left and **Canlı önizleme (PDF ile birebir)** (live preview, same as the PDF) on the right. In the **Arka plan** (background) card choose **Arka plan tipi** (**Hazır görsel** ready image or **Düz renk** plain colour), **Hazır arka plan** (**Klasik**, **Çerçeve**, **Limon Köşe**, **Lacivert Köşe**, **Degrade** or **Görselsiz (düz renk)**) and **Arka plan rengi** (background colour). In **Renkler ve yazı** (colours and text) set the **Başlık** (title), **Etiket** (label), **Genel metin** (body text) and **Değer (vurgu)** (value, highlight) colours, the **Yazı tipi** (font) and **Yazı boyutu** (font size). ![Ticket design: background and font](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-mu-bilet1-en.png)
2. In **Kart ve logo** (card and logo) slide the card's **Genişlik** (width), **Yükseklik** (height) and **Köşe yuvarlaklığı** (corner radius); to show your logo, turn on **Logo göster** and choose the **Logo (PNG/JPG/WEBP/GIF, max 1 MB)** file. In **Alanlar** (fields) choose whether **Başlık** (title), **Geçerlilik süresi** (validity) and **Açıklama** (description) appear on the card. Press **Değişiklikleri kaydet** (save changes). The design is used for both bulk user and coupon PDFs. A logo change shows in the preview after saving. ![Card and logo, fields and save](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-mu-bilet2-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**How does a guest with a card connect?**  
They type the details on the card into the user name and password boxes on the Wi-Fi login screen.

**Single password or separate passwords?**  
A single password makes handing out easier; separate passwords are safer, because one person's card is useless to anyone else.

**How is this different from Coupon Codes?**  
With [Coupon Codes](/books/guests/page/coupon-codes) the guest types a single code; here they get a user name and a password.

# New User

## What is it for?

**New User** creates a single Wi-Fi account from the panel. Use it for people who cannot verify by SMS or who need a fixed account (staff, long-stay guests, a meeting room computer and so on). You can create two types of account: a **Hotspot user** who signs in with a user name and password, or a **Staff WiFi (certificate)** user who receives a setup link on their phone.

## When do I use it?

- You want to give an employee or a long-stay guest a permanent Wi-Fi account.
- A device without a phone number (printer, computer) needs a login account.
- You want staff to connect securely to the company Wi-Fi with a certificate (Staff WiFi).

## Before you start

- You need a group that sets the account's time and speed rules. If you have none, create one on [Groups](/books/guests/page/groups) first; if the **Group** list is empty the user cannot be linked to a group.
- The account is created on the selected device. For another location, change the device on [Device Selection](/books/getting-started/page/device-selection) first.
- If you need many accounts, use [Bulk Users](/books/guests/page/bulk-users) instead of creating them one by one.

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **New User**. The **User Information** form opens. ![New User in the Guests menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-nu-menu-en.png)
2. Fill in **Username** (example: `ayse.kaya`), **First Name** (`Ayşe`) and **Last Name** (`Kaya`); these three are required. If you like, also fill in **E-Mail**, **Phone** and **Department**. For the phone, pick the country in the list on the left (**Turkey (+90)** by default) and type the number on the right (example: `532 123 45 67`); the number is formatted as you type and letters are not accepted. ![User details and phone country](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-nu-form-en.png)
3. In **Group**, pick the group for the account. Each group is shown with its description (example: **Misafir-2Saat (Günlük misafir, 2 saat)**). ![Group selection](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-nu-grup-en.png)
4. If **User type** is **Hotspot user (connects with a password)**, type the password the user will enter at the Wi-Fi login in **Password** and press **Save**. On success you are taken to the [Local Users](/books/guests/page/local-users) list, where the new account appears. ![User type, Password and Save](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-nu-sifre-en.png)
5. For staff, if you pick **Staff WiFi (certificate)**, the **Password** box disappears and **Phone** becomes required (a red star appears). This note is shown: "The password is generated automatically and the field is hidden. The setup link and the temporary password are sent to the mobile number: SMS for local numbers, WhatsApp for international ones. The phone field is required." Press **Save**; the staff member completes the setup with the link on their phone. ![Staff WiFi type and note](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-nu-tip-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**Where do I see the account after saving?**  
On the [Local Users](/books/guests/page/local-users) list. Changing the password or deleting the account is also done there.

**How does the user connect?**  
A Hotspot user signs in with the user name and password if your Wi-Fi login page has those fields. A Staff WiFi user installs a certificate on their device by following the link sent to their phone; details are in the **Staff Wi-Fi** book.

**I forgot the password. Can I see it?**  
Passwords are stored in a form that cannot be read back. Edit the account to set a new password.

# All Connections

## What is it for?

**All Connections** (the heading on the screen is **Last Connection Requests**) lists sign-in attempts to your Wi-Fi from newest to oldest: who tried, when, whether the sign-in was accepted or rejected, and how they signed in (SMS, hotel, local user and so on).

## When do I use it?

- A guest says "I cannot sign in" and you want to see whether their attempt reached the system and whether it was rejected.
- To look at sign-in activity during the day.

## Step by step

1. This screen is not in the left menu. On the **Dashboard**, press **All Connections** under the **Last 5 Connections** card. ![All Connections button on the Dashboard](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-lc-dash-en.png)
2. The list opens. To find a guest, type part of their number in the **Search...** box at the top right. In the **Status** column a green **Logged In** is a successful attempt, a red **Login Rejected** a rejected one.

**The guest's attempt shows "Login Rejected".**  
They may have typed a wrong password or code, be blocked or be waiting for approval. Check [Blocked Users](/books/guests/page/blocked-users) and [Pending Approval](/books/guests/page/pending-approval).

**The guest's attempt is not on the list at all.**  
The attempt did not reach the system: the guest may not have finished the login screen or there may be a connection problem with the device. Contact support with the guest's approximate sign-in time.

**Excluded Users** is the list where you keep your own employees' phone numbers. Numbers on this list are not counted as guests: they are left out of guest counts, reports and bulk message lists. This way employees who connect to the Wi-Fi every day do not look like "loyal guests" and do not inflate your numbers.

This screen is different from the business staff who sign in to the Useroam Go app (**Bumerang &gt; Staff**). This list is only for excluding people from reports; it gives nobody an app login.

## When do I use it?

- Your employees also connect to the guest Wi-Fi with their phone number and your guest counts look higher than they really are.
- You send bulk SMS / WhatsApp messages and do not want them to reach your employees.
- A new employee starts (add them) or an employee leaves (mark them as **Mark as left**).
- You want to see your employees' Wi-Fi usage separately (**User report** tab).

## Before you start

- The screen is in the left menu under **Settings**. If you do not see it, your account has no permission for this module; an administrator can turn on the **Kurum Personeli (liste)** (staff list) permission on the [Module Permissions](/books/settings/page/module-permissions) screen.
- The list is per device. If you have several locations, each device has its own list. The top of the page shows which device you are looking at (example: **Useroam Demo**).
- If no device is selected, the screen shows "No active device selected. Pick a device from the device selector above." Select your device on the [Device Selection](/books/getting-started/page/device-selection) screen first.

## Step by step: adding employees to the list

1. In the left menu open **Settings** and click **Excluded Users**. The screen opens on the **List** tab. ![Excluded Users in the Settings menu](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-menu-en.png)
2. In the **Add user** card, type the employee's number in **Mobile number** (example: `5301234567`). A leading 0 or 90 is fine, spaces are removed. If you like, also fill in **Full name (optional)** and **Department (optional)** (example: `Ahmet Yılmaz`, `Accounting`). Press **Add**. ![Add user card and Add button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-ekle-en.png)
3. If you have many employees, do not add them one by one: click **Have many people? Paste the list here**. Paste your list into the box that opens; one person per line, phone first, then an optional name. You can paste a column straight from Excel. Press **Add list**. At most 2000 lines are processed at a time. ![Bulk paste box and Add list button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-toplu-en.png)
4. The people you added appear in the table below. The heading shows the total and the active count (example: **3 users (2 active)**). To find someone, type a phone, name or department in **Search...**, pick **All**, **Active** or **Left** in **Status** and press **Filter**. **Clear filter** brings back the full list. ![List, search and Status filter](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-liste-en.png)
5. When an employee leaves, press **Mark as left** on their row. The status column shows that day's date, such as **Left: 26.09.2026**. The leaving day still counts as staff; from the next day on, their logins count as normal guest logins. If you pressed it by mistake, fix it with **Undo** in the same place. ![Mark as left and Undo buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-ayril-en.png)
6. To delete a record completely, press the trash button on the row and confirm "Do you want to delete this record completely?". To delete several people, tick the boxes at the start of the rows (the top box is **Select all on this page**) and press **Delete selected**; the number on the button is how many you selected. ![Row check boxes and Delete selected button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-sil-en.png)
7. To see your employees' Wi-Fi usage, switch to the **User report** tab at the top right. Pick the **Start** and **End** dates and press **Show** (the last 30 days are selected when the tab opens). The same search, status filter and row buttons are available here too. ![User report tab](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-kp-rapor-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**On which screens are listed employees left out?**  
Guest numbers on the Dashboard, [Active Guests](/books/guests/page/active-guests), the [SMS / WhatsApp Users](/books/guests/page/sms-whatsapp-users) list and report, [Visit Analytics](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/visit-analytics), Bumerang Reports, Guest 360°, Live Radar and the Bulk Send recipient list do not count these people.

**Are the employee's 5651 records deleted too?**  
No. Legal access records (5651 Logs) are kept in full for everyone. This list only affects guest reports.

**An employee left. Should I delete them or mark them as left?**  
Use **Mark as left**. Logins from the time they worked stay as staff, logins after they left count as guest logins. If you delete the record, their past logins start counting as guest logins too.

**The number is on the list but still counted as a guest.**  
Check the status column: if it says **Left**, logins after the leaving date count as guest logins; press **Undo**. Also make sure you added it to the right device's list.

**Will my employees sign in to the panel or the Useroam Go app with this list?**  
No. For app logins use the **Bumerang &gt; Staff** screen.
