Configuring Multiple Visitor Account Forms

Example solution architecture

The remainder of this technical note describes the configuration for the following environment:
•
The IT Administrators operator profile may create visitor accounts using any of the standard
roles.
•
The Operations and Marketing operator profile may only create visitor accounts with the
Employee role.
•
The Reception and Front Desk operator profile may only create visitor accounts with the
Guest role.
•
Additionally, different fields will be used to store information with employee and guest
accounts at the time of account creation.

area to which the visitor account has access.

Visitor accounts with the Guest role will have a Visiting field that indicates the person the
guest is visiting.
