# Guest Network

The **Guest Network** is a restricted network environment at the Universität Greifswald used for devices that have not undergone the formal [[device-registration]] process.

## Access and Trigger
Any wired device connected to the university LAN that is not registered in the [[ums]] is automatically assigned to the Guest Network.

## Limitations
Access within the Guest Network is highly constrained to maintain institutional security. Limitations include:
- **Restricted Permissions**: Users have very limited rights compared to the internal network.
- **Resource Blocking**: Access to internal university content and central network drives may be blocked.
- **Functional Impact**: The restrictions may prevent the device from being used for standard daily work tasks that require internal connectivity.
