Description: A guest account is a type of temporary access that allows users to connect to a server without needing a permanent user account. This type of account is especially useful in various environments, including private cloud environments, where controlled and limited access to system resources is required. Guest accounts typically have restricted permissions, meaning users can perform certain tasks, such as browsing the web or accessing specific applications, but cannot modify system settings or access sensitive data. This functionality is ideal for situations where access needs to be provided to visitors or temporary collaborators while ensuring the security and integrity of the system. Additionally, guest accounts can be configured to expire after a set period, adding an extra layer of security by preventing unauthorized long-term access. In summary, guest accounts are a valuable tool for managing access to resources in various environments, facilitating collaboration without compromising system security.
