Create Sponsors

In the Guest Management pane, use the Sponsors tab to define the corporate employees who are authorized to log in to the Guest Management Portal. These users are called sponsors. Anyone defined as a sponsor can use the Guest Management Portal to approve, decline or revoke network access for their sponsored guests.

If the employee email address provided by a guest in the Guest Registration form is not defined in the Sponsors tab, the employee cannot use the Guest Management Portal. The employee can only approve or decline the guest if the Forescout user selected the option in the Guests tab of the HTTP Login action. images/image264.png
