Overview

A Guest Account is an optional user Account that can be used to get non-Portal users, such as an outside vendor, for example, to engage in a Flow. The Guest Account user is enabled under System > Settings > Portal Settings, by checking the Enable Guest Account checkbox found under Portal Settings. When the Guest Account is active, a user will see a GUEST user in the user's list, and Forms will have the "Assign to Guest" option available for doing the Assignment.
To use a Guest Account, it has to be activated, enabled, and then given Portal access.

  1. Right-click Account > Manage > Activate Guest Account
  2. Edit the Account and check Can Use Portal
  3. In the Portal settings, check Enable Guest Account 

Example

  1. To activate the Account, navigate to Account > Manage > Activate Guest Account.

  2. To give the Guest Account Portal access, go to Security > Accounts
  3. Select the Guest Account and choose Edit. 
  4. Within the Edit Entity dialog, select Is Active, Is Confirmed, and Can Use Portal.
