      Greetings to all members of the community, I come to ask for help to resolve the following problem. In the industry where I provide services, there is a receptionist who inserts MACs into the captive portal, but she ended up deleting the area by accident. Would it be possible to disable the delete function in the zone?

      Thank you all!

        You can assign the specific priviledge to that user: WebCfg - Services: Captive Portal: Edit MAC Addresses
        Then remove other more general privileges.

        You could also switch to vouchers and set the CP to add new MACs to the pass list when users log in.

          As a system admin, ones in a while you have to take more drastic measures.

          I'm using myself, as I always have some Windows PC up and running : https://github.com/KoenZomers/pfSenseBackup
          and from that day, I have automated a pfSense backup, every day. So, when you, me, or she f#cks up : no issue, the backup is there.
          There is also the Services > Auto Configuration Backup which offers the same functionality.
          For myself, if you've found out that people that just click around and don't know what they are doing, then its up to you to not allows these people access to the pfSense.

          who inserts MACs into the captive portal

          And why not using the automac insert option ? Upon first login, device of portal client will get auto added. You still have to remove them manually, though, as this list will continue to grow ....

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
