Create a Guest Account

From the admin interface, create (or edit) an account. Click on the pencil within the 'Company' box to edit an existing account.

🔔 We advise you to create a new account solely for this user to ensure they are not licensed to any content they shouldn't be.

Create a Guest User

Within the newly created guest account, you will need to create a guest user.

To create your guest user, follow the steps to create a new user here, but make sure you set the 'Shared Username?' option to 'Yes'/tick the 'Shared Username' box.

Manage the default guest user

Once the guest Account and user is created, you can select the Guest user in Admin via Accounts < Guest User.

Should that option not be visible on your site, please email support@contentcatalyst.com to request Guest Access. Please note this might incur costs.
