The invention discloses an authority setting method of a user access network and equipment, which are applied to a network system comprising a network authentication server and a plurality of network access areas. The network authentication server stores access authority information of at least one user name in the plurality of network access areas respectively; when a user request is accessed, the user name and the position recognition information of the current network access area are provided, the corresponding resource access authority is obtained and network access is carried out. The invention realizes access authority allocation based on the actual access position of the user, can avoid that the access authority can not be controlled due to change of the access area, can adopt uniform access authority control for unfixed staff in all access areas, and adopts a single account number mode to access, thus providing convenience for use of users, improving network security of the network and simultaneously user experience.
