• Retention Duration Of Pre Registered Visitors: after the account corresponding to the pre registered visitors expires, the retention duration in the system before the account is automatically logged off. After timeout, the account will be automatically logged off. The default value is 30. When it is set to 0, the expired pre registered visitors will be logged out at 00:01 the next day
• Use For Online: When automatically canceling an expired guest account that is online, the system takes one of the following actions based on the configuration of this option:
• If this option is not selected, the system does not cancel the account.

• SMS Retrieval Interval: Minimum amount of time between two SMS messages that are sent to retrieve the password for a guest account created through the simplified guest registration page.
• SMS Reset Password: Enable or disable resetting the password through an SMS message. When Enable is selected, UAM sends a new password to a guest through an SMS message. When Disable is selected and the password is valid, UAM sends the original password to the guest. When Disable is selected while the password is expired, UAM still sends a new password to the guest.

  To add a selectable user group, navigate to the User > Access User > All Access Users page, and then click User Group above the access user list. Whether the password field on the guest pre-registration page is required depends on the setting of the Send Guest Password by parameter in the guest policy applied to the default user group for guests. The default guest policy applies if no guest policy is specified for the default user group for guests. The password field on the guest pre-registration page is optional if the Send Guest Password by parameter in the guest policy is configured. If this parameter is left empty, the password field on the guest pre-registration page is required.

• Scan QR Code to Approve Guests by Unspecified Administrator: Select Enable to allow an administrator that is not specified during guest preregistration to scan the QR code for approving guest registration. After the approval, the administrator becomes the specified administrator for the guest.
• All access users have guest manage privileges?Select Enable to allow non guest type access users in normal state to scan the QR code for approving guest registration. After the approval, the access user becomes the specified administrator for the guest and is added to the guest administrator list. To enable this feature, you need to configure the default guest administrator first.
• Backend Verification: This feature controls backend verification on the password acquisition status for endpoints. With this feature enabled, the backend verifies the countdown timer for password acquisition. It will not send the password acquisition request if the last countdown has not ended.
