Devices that provision over TFTP are not automatically added at this time (e.g., the Cisco 7940 and 7960, and certain Cyberdata equipment). Set an expiration date for authorized networks as needed. An expiration of `0` days means the authorization will never expire.
Allow Non-Admins to Authorize Own Network	Allows users to navigate to `https://‹domain›.onjive.com/addNetwork` (where `‹domain›` is replaced with your unique domain found in parentheses at the top of the admin dashboard) to authorize the network currently being used.
