School staff can temporarily allow guests on our network. This can be for a student teacher or a presenter at your school who needs access to WiFi. Setting up a guest account allows the user to use the internet without accessing any internal resources, making it the most secure option. Sharing your district credentials can be very risky and it is not recommended. Below are the steps for setting up a guest account.

- Select ‘Manage Guest Accounts’ from the left menu.
- Select a guest account that is not being used from the drop-down menu. (account status shows as inactive)
- Complete the text fields
- Select ‘Activate Account’
- This may take up to 15 minutes to activate the account.
- These account expire at midnight and need to be renewed daily.
- If you require this account be to active for an extended period, please submit a helpdesk ticket.
