Chapter 53: Managing Guest Services and Guest
Accounts
Users > Guest Services
Guest accounts are temporary accounts set up for users to log into your network. You can
create these accounts manually, as needed or generate them in batches. SonicOS includes
profiles you can configure in advance to automate configuring guest accounts when you
generate them. Guest accounts are typically limited to a pre-determined life-span. After their
life span, by default, the accounts are removed.
Guest Services determine the limits and configuration of the guest accounts. The Users >
Guest Services page displays a list of Guest Profiles. Guest profiles determine the
configuration of guest accounts when they are generated. In the Users > Guest Services
page, you can add, delete, and configure Guest Profiles. In addition, you can determine if all
users who log in to the security appliance see a user login window that displays the amount of
time remaining in their current login session.
