Members of the Metropolia staff can create user accounts for guests such as lecturersguest lecturers and other visitors. Also partner organizations’ staff can create guest's accounts. Logging in to Metropolia computers is possible with a guest's account.Beginning on January 3 also the members of partner organizations’ staff can create guests’ accounts
Be aware that you cannot use your guest account to access Metropolia intranet or online tools, such as OMA, Moodle or WiKi, or netdrives. A guest account only allows you to login to Metropolia workstations, access the internet, and use metropolia-guest WiFi.
The aim is to simplify the creation of user accounts in cases where the user is not a member of the Metropolia staff, a student at Metropolia or a long standing partner. The maximum validity period of a guest's account is one week at the longest. If a user account is needed for a longer period of time an external user’s user account or a user account at a partner may be an appropriate alternative. In all other cases user accounts are requested as before, i.e. by giving the required information to Helpdesk.
A guest’s user account can also be used in a case where the student has not activated his or her user account before the beginning of studies. A member of the Metropolia staff can create a guest’s user account for the student so that he or she is able to activate his or her own account.If a user account is needed for a longer period of time an external user’s user account or a user account at a partner organization may be an appropriate alternative.
