 ## Radius Authentication
 
 Please note that a mysql user is created for each user the logs in

-unless radius sends a reply attribute with the correct userlevel. 
-
-You can change the default userlevel by setting
-`$config['radius']['userlevel']` to something other than 1.
-
-The attribute `Filter-ID` is a standard Radius-Reply-Attribute that
-can be assigned a value corresponding to the desired userlevel for 
-the user and/or group (profile) in your radius server. 
-
-Userlevels and corresponding values are described in the third paragraph in this document.
