- Viewer: Permission to browse and view images. Guests are typically viewers.

Shared user accounts
With a shared user account, multiple users share the same username and password (e.g., student account).
When managing shared user accounts, we recommend that you use QuickCodes. QuickCodes are substitutes for the login information (server's URL, username, password) usually required to connect to a server.
