ŠAuto-Prune Account: Check this to have the account removed from the database after its lifetime expires.

ŠEnforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only a single instance of an account to be used at any one time. By default, this feature is enabled when creating a new guest account. If you want to allow multiple users to login with a single account, disable this enforcement by clearing the Enforce login uniqueness checkbox.

ŠActivate account upon first login: Check this for the account to remain inactive until the user logs in and activates the account.
