Question

Guest/contractor vs Kiosk

Hello FNAC admins,

What's really the difference between normal guest/contractor profile and guest kiosk profile ? I've seen that in guest/contractor you have to send the user their credentials and in kiosk they can create their own account. Can anyone give me a use case to use the guest kiosk instead of guest/contractor ?

 

BR,

Hey,
The benefits are the following

-Reduces a sponsor’s workload because guests create their own accounts.

-Frees up IT staff from having to create accounts

-Makes it easier for guests visiting short-term to have network access.

-Allows guests immediate network access without depending on someone to do it for them.

    Hello,

    Yes I've already read that in the documentation, I want a use case for this feature, like a real life example when to use it.

    I am trying to understand your question,
    It can be used for corporate offices that have short time guests over all the time, hotels, hospitals and so on.
