What is the default account lifetime for a guest user account?

The default account lifetime for a guest user account being set to 24 hours is based on typical security practices aimed at balancing convenience and security. A 24-hour duration is considered sufficient for most guest access scenarios, such as visitors needing short-term access to a network without compromising the overall security and performance of the system.

This time frame allows guests to use the network for a day while ensuring that their access is automatically revoked after that period, reducing the risk of unauthorized long-term access. Once the 24-hour period elapses, the account becomes inactive, which helps to maintain network integrity and control access behavior.

Having a predefined expiration period helps administrators manage guest accounts effectively, ensuring they do not remain active indefinitely, which could lead to potential vulnerabilities.
