You could block clients in all SSIDs in the current network or on an SSID basis depending on your requirements. This Whitelist displays which you added the white clients in SSID > Access Control and Manage > Clients. So you could manage whole whitelist clients easily in single lists.
The default Client Access Control is Blocklist, so you need to change the default ACL Rule to Allow whitelist only, so your whitelist client will take effect.
