Hello,
A sponsor user is a person who creates the guest user account and is often an employee of the organization; for example, a lobby ambassador who creates and manages guest user accounts through a sponsor-oriented web portal. The Cisco ISE authenticates sponsors through a local database or external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Microsoft Active Directory identity stores.
A sponsor portal allows a sponsor to create temporary accounts for guests, visitors, contractors, consultants, or customers to perform HTTP or HTTPS login to gain access to the network. The network could be a corporate network or access could provide access to the Internet.
You can provide account details to the guest by printout, email, or SMS.
The following cisco doc provides complete details:
