First configure the RADIUS server on the switch, e.g. Security > Management Security > RADIUS > Server Configuration for the RADIUS authentication server.
Then you can enable 802.1x on the switch port - that's all straight forward. However, carefully check the fine documentation on configuring. Don't forget to put the dot.1x authentication list to RADIUS. Security > Management Security -> Authentication List -> Dot.1x Authentication list.

No Web page at all... There must be a 802.1x supplicant on the computer connected and properly configured. Most settings are related to the RADIUS server itself, the switch does only hand over the 802.1x packets to the RADIUS server.

Thanks for the suggestion. You comment about the supplicant made me do ore research and I found out that I had incorrect IP in for Radius server. After changing it I was able to change the VLAN in the switch dynamically based off of mac addresses with the Ubiquiti USG built in Radius server.
