The login credentials for these users are provided outside the Dell Instant system. A guest user can be a visitor who will be temporarily using the enterprise network to access the internet. However, you would not want to share the internal network and the intranet with them. To segregate the guest traffic from the enterprise traffic, you can create a Guest WLAN, specify the required authentication, encryption, and access rules and allow the guest user to use the enterprise network. An employee user is the employee who will be using the enterprise network for various official tasks.
