1. Airport authority
2. Flight service providers
3. Guests.

- The airport authority maintains a server which handles the flight management controls. The flight service providers should have access only to the specific server in the airport authority network and not to any other systems. The guest users should have wireless access to a high speed internet connection, which should be shared among all the users in all the departments.
- The wireless access should be using a common password. The guest users should not have access to the other two departments. The users should obtain IP addresses automatically. The airport authority has 20 users, the flight service providers have 40 users and the maximum numbers of guests are estimated to be 100.
