Configure the guest user account settings
The Guest account is a low-privilege account that is available for users who do not have an AD account, but need access to Dell
Hybrid Client. You can enable or disable the guest user account using Wyse Management Suite. If you have logged in as a guest
user, local configurations are not preserved across logins. For example, when a guest user configures a wallpaper setting locally,
the setting is restored to the default wallpaper when the user logs out and logs back in. However, when the same wallpaper is
configured from Wyse Management Suite (Device User Policies), the setting changes are applied to the subsequent guest user
logins. You can configure a password for the guest user from Wyse Management Suite.
Steps
1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Hybrid Client.
The Configuration Control | Hybrid Client page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Expand Privacy & Security, and click Guest User Account Properties.
6. Click the Guest user account toggle key to enable or disable the guest user account. By default, the guest user account is
enabled.
7. Click the Password prompt guest account toggle key to ON state to enable the password prompt for the guest account.
8. In the Set password for Guest user field, enter the password for the guest user account.
9. Click the Auto SignOn toggle key to ON state to enable the guest user to automatically log in to Dell Hybrid Client.
10. Click the Remove Device Lock and Password prompt on wakeup toggle key to ON state to enable the option. After the
device or display resumes from sleep mode, the lock screen is no longer displayed and the device does not prompt for a
password.
11. Click Save and Publish.
After receiving the configuration, the client displays a log-off notification. Close the notification and log off manually to apply
the configuration.
