Configuring a User Account Group to Log off to the Guest User Account

Use the Logoff to guest account function when you want to keep monitoring certain functions in your Building Operation system even though the logged on user account is manually or automatically logged off.

You can configure a user group to automatically log on to the Guest user account when a user account that belongs to the group is manually or automatically logged off.

When the user account is logged off, the Guest user account logs on to the same server on the default domain. The workspace configured for the Guest user account is displayed and the user account has the permissions that you have configured for the Guest user account.

If a user account belongs to several user account groups and at least one of them is configured for automatic logoff to guest account, the user is automatically logged on to the Guest user account when the original user account is logged off.

If the Guest user account group is configured for automatic logoff to guest account, the Guest user account group is logged off to the log on screen when the Guest user account is manually or automatically logged off.
