Logging In on the User Authentication Screen
When the Guest group and Employee group enabled, Kiosk users must login either as a Guest or an Employee user account. When either is disabled, the selection of login type is unnecessary.

When Kiosk users log in as Guest, they don't have to provide any credential.
After logging in with either your Windows credentials or as a Guest, your workflow is determined by the workflow settings configured in the MetaDefender Kiosk Management Console. If there are multiple workflows available for the logged in user (Employee or Guest), the user must select which workflow to proceed with. In case there is only one workflow available, the session is navigated automatically across that workflow.

Authorizing MFT Guest ID
If the administrator has activated the "Authorized MFT Guests only" option for the Guest Workflow to manage these Guest IDs manually instead of depending on automatic generation by the KIOSK, the user utilizing that guest workflow will need to input the provided MFT Guest ID to initiate the session.
