Mikrotik as Hotspot and RADIUS Server

Mikrotik, to setting hotspot could be very easily, just repeated click in steps until finished. But how with the case where users more than one (the example of the student that brought laptop to the campus plus the guest, friend etc) that the wish continue to be able to connected in the network but continue to be able to in monitored who that login with the maintenance as easily as possible.
