There are several options depending on their needs, and the length of their stay. Remember that getting a Physics account does //not// enable login to the wireless network so if your visitor needs to use their laptop (etc) on wireless then this must be addressed separately. +If you have short term visitors who be using their own laptop and simply need access to the **wireless network**, please consult our page on [[:computing:network:guests|wireless guest access]].

-If you have a visitor who needs casual login access to **Physics linux workstations**, or to the **Physics website or wiki** (for example, a restricted-access workshop page), then we can set up a short-term physics account for them. Office staff in Physics, Astronomy and FTPI have to ability to enable one of these accounts almost immediately. These accounts have a maximum lifetime of 14 days.+
