We recommend that you update your SNS firewalls to a version with maintenance to guarantee the protection of your infrastructure.

# Temporary accounts list

Whenever the "Temporary accounts" authentication method is disabled, this module will ask you to go to the Authentication module to enable it.

Once it is enabled, this module will allow you to manage temporary accounts: add, delete, modify, print information, export the list of accounts.

## The table

This table sets out all information relating to temporary accounts created on the firewall. It contains the following columns:

Username | Connection ID of the temporary user. It will be automatically created by concatenating the first name and last name separated by a period. Example: john.doe
First name | First name associated with the account.
Last name | Last name associated with the account.
E-mail address | E-mail address associated with the account.
Company name: | Company associated with the account.
From | This is the date from which the temporary account will be valid.
Up to | This is the date until which the temporary account will be valid.
Password | The password associated with the temporary account. The firewall automatically generates this password.
