It’s a very large hammer for the small nut you have to crack, but Zentyal (https://zentyal.com/community/) is worth a 
look. It’s a complete Linux OS that aims to provide a compatible alternative to MS Active Directory. FreeRadius is a 
component and, from what I remember, the GUI was excellent.

it's a bit more than just freeradius, but PacketFense is no-bs GPL software to do this, among much more.

I think it'd definitely do what you're looking to do

Hi all.

I haven't been in the space in yonks, but I'm having to look into it for an acquisition.

What's the latest on front-end panels for RADIUS, specifically, FreeRADIUS?

I fumbled around with Daloradius some years back, but mainly to manage some pfSense captive portals for guest wi-fi 
VLAN's at the office.

I found these chaps who make some basic comparisons between themselves and what is out there:

Grateful to get feedback, on- and off-list, about what folk are doing with this tech. nowadays. Enterpri$e options 
are welcome too, but essentially, we are just looking for an easy on-premise (no cloud, please; I consider RADIUS 
critical network infrastructure) pretty GUI system that can make the engineers, NOC, provisioning and billing teams 
happy; and especially, the customers, of course.

I don't trust myself with Google to avoid snake oil in my search :-).

All help appreciated. Thanks.

Mark.
