There are two methods that work together for determining the length of time a guest account is active. The shortest duration of the two is the one that is used to remove a guest account from the database.

• Account Duration (Hours): Option included in the guest template to limit the time a guest account created with this template remains in the database. If this is blank, the guest account end date is used. The Account Duration starts only when the guest user first logs in. For example, you could create a guest account with a date range that spans one week and if the account duration was 24 hours, they would be able to log in for one 24 hour period any time during that week
• Account End Date: Option included on the Add Guest Account dialog to determine the date on which the guest account expires. This field is required when a guest account is created.

Number of hours the guest or contractor can access the network before reauthentication is required.
