iVisit "Guests"

What is a guest user ?
iVisit 3.4 onward supports "Guest" logon, people can run iVisit and log in to you without a registered Account.
You do not have to be online or logged in to have guests active.

Who can have guests ?
Plus Account holders may have up to 8 simultaneous guests, Lite accounts 1 guest. Plus guests can join your chat room and/or channel listing, Lite guests have no Address Book and can only [message][connect] their host.

How do I enable / disable guest use ?
Under Settings there is a "Set Guest Password" option. Enter your logon password to confirm identity then set a 'guest' password to activate guest login, set it blank to stop guest login.

How do guests log in ?
Once you have set your guest password, then anyone can logon as your guest by specifying their logon as:

Domain: ivisit.net
User: nickname@host_user
Password: guest_password

They can choose whatever they wish for nickname, your username as "host_user" and your guest password.

What can guests do ?
Guests are limited to 1:1 messaging/calls with:
1. Their host
2. Other users who are in same Listing with them
3. Other guests of the same host (even if both not in Listing at that time)
Guests can only open/join the Plus host's home.
Guests cannot save others in their Address Book.
A Lite guest has no Address Book at all

If you are a Plus user, there is a new folder in your home which shows currently logged on Guests. Guests cannot be saved in your address book. Guests cannot be banned, because they have no permanent identity. The host would need to change guest password to permanent ban a certain guest.

How do I change the guest password ?
Under Settings there is a "Change Guest Password" option.

Can guests auto-join my room or channel ?
Yes, you can make a .ivb file with the login details (domain/name/password) and use Join=path to specify location. For more on making a guest 'invitation.ivb' click here.
