passwords in the user list. To reveal passwords, the
password
field must be added to the “guest_users”

– This field contains the next available sequence number for each username prefix
that has been used. Automatic sequence numbering is used when the value of the
multi_initial_sequence
field is set to -1. The username prefix is taken from the
multi_prefix
field
when usernames are automatically generated using the “nwa_sequence” method. You can edit the values
stored here to change the next sequence numbers that will be used. This is an automatically managed
field; in most situations there is no need to edit it.

When “Require click to print” is selected, the receipt page provides a drop-down list of print templates
and a
Print
link that must be clicked to display the account receipt:
About Guest Network Access
– Allows the text displayed to operators on the Guest Manager start
page to be customized, or removed (if a single hyphen “-” is entered).
About Fields, Forms, and Views
A field is a named item of information.
A form is a group of fields that is used to collect information from an operator, whereas a view is a grouping
of fields that is used to display information to an operator.
Business Logic for Account Creation
When guest accounts are created, there are certain rules that must be followed in order to create a valid
account. These rules apply to all accounts, regardless of how the account was created.
The business logic rules that control all guest account creation are described below.
Verification Properties
creator_accept_terms
: This field must be set to 1, indicating the creator has accepted the terms of use
for creating the account. If the field is not present or is not set to 1, the visitor account is not created.
password2
: If this field is specified, its value must be equal to the “password” field, or else the visitor
account is not created.
auto_update_account
: If this field is present and set to a non-zero value, account creation will not fail
if the username already exists – any changes will be merged into the existing account using an update
instead.
Basic User Properties
username
: This field is the name for the visitor account and may be provided directly. If this field is not
specified, then use the email address from the
email
field, and if that is also not specified, then randomly
generate a username (according to the value of the
random_username_method
and
random_username_length
fields).
