Setting SSID on some AP's but not all

OK, let me explain.
I have an OCC 200 controller. It seems to allow me to set SSID's for my entire cluster. What if I want to set one of those SSID's for just one floor of my building?
Here's the scenario: Ground floor has a coffee shop and we want a WAP that goes through a portal and times patrons out after, say, 1/2 an hour. Now upstairs is conference space. We want those users to login with a password but stay connected all day (or week). That would be 2 separate SSID's. Except I don't want the coffee shop SSID available upstairs.
Can I configure my array of AP's that way using the OCC, or am I restricted to only managing SSID's that are in common to all of the units? There may be an answer in the user guide but so far I haven't found it.

You can use the WLAN Group function to meet your demand.
1. Add different WLAN Group at Wireless Settins->Basic Wireless Settngs->WLAN Group. And set different SSID in each WLAN Group.
For example:
1) Set "coffee shop" WLAN Group, and add a "coffee shop" SSID, bind with a portal function.
2) Set "conference space" WLAN Group, and add a "conference space" SSID, with WPA-PSK security mode.
2. Click the AP name in AP list, choose configuration->WLAN and add the EAP in corresponding WLAN Group. Then EAP in different WLAN Group will broadcast different SSID with different authentication method.
