The Guest User account gives anonymous access to AnthillPro, and does not require a user name or password at login. Guest users simply open AnthillPro in a browser and the Dashboard page appears. Or, if guest users are sharing workstations with registered users, they follow the 'click here to login as guest' link on the main login page.
Management of guest users is similar to that of other AnthillPro users. However, permissions are not automatically assigned (with LDAP, etc.), and must be manually configured for every instance of AnthillPro. Once the account is activated, guest users are assigned any available role or combination of roles. For example, a User, Build Master, etc., role may be assigned to guest users; or a role created specifically for guest users (named 'guest role' for example) may be assigned. To determine how guest users interact with AnthillPro, each role is then assigned different read and/or write permissions based on a combination of resources and resource types. See Manage Security.
You must have AnthillPro administrative privileges to configure the Guest User account. See Manage Security.
