    Can user priority ranking be achieved under the same set of wireless signals

    If you are asking if QoS can be applied per user, yes, you can configure that based on the user-role that gets assigned to a user.  What you do to configure that QoS is a varied topic and covered in the user guide.

    What I mean is that there is a sequential order for users to access the internet through certain attributes

    You're going to have to explain what you are after to a better extent for me to understand what you are wanting to implement if that isn't QoS.

    Based on different accounts, partition which users have priority in accessing the internet

    That is a quite rare request, so I may still not fully understand.

    By configuring different roles you can per role configure bandwidth limits and/or QoS priority. Then just assign the appropriate role to different accounts. Bandwidth limits can be restricted per user or per role (for all users in the same role).

    Note that for QoS to work, your internet router needs to support that as well (if internet bandwidth is lower than the wireless connection speed). There is not really a mechanism to reserve bandwidth, so limiting bandwidth for users that don't need it or don't have priority is the more common method to do so.

    Your Aruba partner should be able to assist you in designing and configuring this properly.

    Within my understanding, can the authentication server issue a specific attribute to achieve login authentication. For example, when issuing a VLAN and logging in, enter a specific VLAN. My requirement is from the boss, who requires his account to have absolute priority

    Yes, you can return an Aruba-User-Role and/or Aruba-User-VLAN attribute from the RADIUS server. Not sure how to configure that on NPS based on User ID or Group membership, but with a search that should be possible.

    Is there any relevant attribute that can prioritize users. Distinguish user conditional capabilities within the same group, such as within the same VLAN.
     
    What I mean is the distinguishing attributes under equal ability conditions

    That was answered in the first response to your question, you would need to use roles for that.

    How simple the question sounds, there is not really a feature to reserve bandwidth on a network. You can, with QoS but that requires good understanding of what you do and is more focused on applications like voice than on users. And QoS needs to be configured on other network devices as well to properly function. The most common used approach is to limit bandwidth for the non-important users/applications to prevent them from taking all the airtime or all your internet bandwidth. That may also be a feature on your firewall/internet router.

    As this can be quite complex, and depends on what you further have in the network, it may be best to work with your network partner to design something that matches your (boss') requirements. The WiFi is probably just not the best place to provide universal priority to a single user.
