Regularly changing guests

IT representatives or secretariats are welcome to apply for permanent, non-personal function accounts including self-administration. These accounts can then be used for changing guests on a long-term basis and new passwords and expiration dates can be assigned at any time via web form. The number is usually limited to 10-20.

Note: The use of ILIAS is not intended for such function accounts, because the accounts should exist for a longer period of time and no user data will be deleted in the meantime.
