Adding Guest Accounts to Active Directory Groups

Issue/Question

Can a Guest Account be added to my departmental Active Directory group or a custom shared drive?

Resolution

Guest Accounts cannot be added to Active Directory groups or custom shared drives.

If a non-WKU person needs access to departmental computers and shared drives, contact Human Resources to have this person added to Banner as an Active Non-Employee.

Active Non-Employees are automatically issued WKU Accounts which can be added to Active Directory groups.  Additionally, email accounts may be enabled for these upon request.
