Server Admin 10.4 Help

Defining a Guest User

You can set up some services to support "anonymous" users, who can't be authenticated because they don't have a valid user name or password. The following services can be set up to support anonymous users:

• Windows services (see the Windows Services guide for information about configuring guest access)
• Apple file service (see the file services administration guide for information about configuring guest access)
• FTP service (see the file services administration guide for information about configuring guest access)
• Web service (see the web technologies administration guide for information about configuring guest access)

Users who connect to a server anonymously are restricted to files, folders, and websites with permissions set to Everyone.

Another kind of guest user is a managed user that you can define to allow easy setup of public computers or kiosk computers.
