Description

It would be useful to make guest accounts more controlable:

  • configure what group(s) guest accounts belong to
  • configure users from what group can create them
    • and if the guest account then gets the group of the user who created it

This allows limiting the creation of guest accounts to certain users; and gives more ways of using File Access Control and workflow things to control the guest accounts.
