Guest Access for Unauthenticated Users
If the Web Security appliance is configured to provide guest access for unauthenticated users, in Cloud
Connector mode, AsyncOS assigns guest users to the group, __GUEST_GROUP__, and sends that
information to Cisco Cloud Web Security. Use Identities to provide guest access to unauthenticated
users. Use Cisco Cloud Web Security policies to control these guest users.
