Microsoft Dynamics AX creates a Guest user account during installation. The Guest user account allows anonymous Web users to log on to an Enterprise Portal Internet site with limited access. Web users who log on with the Guest account can view the product catalog, complete questionnaires, and sign up to become customers, but they cannot view any other information. All anonymous Web users connect to Enterprise Portal using the same Guest user account.

This topic describes how to enable the Guest user account and the Guest user group, and how to add the Guest user account to the Guest user group. You must complete all the procedures in this topic before users can access an Enterprise Portal Internet site.
