Guests

Share with external users conveniently just by entering an email address in the sharing dialog. Recipients receive an email containing an activation link.
They can log in using their email address as username and the password they chose during activation.
Guests may even use the owncloud.online desktop clients and mobile apps to connect to owncloud.online and work on shared contents.

Guest accounts are limited to the applications an administrator puts on the whitelist, so in practice they work in the contents shared with them. They are regular accounts otherwise and receive the server's default quota; set that quota to 0 if guests should not store anything of their own.

In the 'Sharing' section of owncloud.online settings administrators find configuration options for the application enabling to whitelist other owncloud.online applications that guests are allowed use.
It is important to note that the whitelist defaults are quite conservative. We recommend administrators to check carefully which apps they want to offer.
Guest accounts are grouped under a virtual group allowing administrators to easily filter them in the user management.
Furthermore guests are fully auditable with the owncloud.online Auditing application.
