External user’s user account
An external user account is an account created for a user who participates in a Metropolia project or enrolls in a class at Metropolia but is not a Metropolia staff member. An external user account differs from partner user account only in that an external user account gives access to fewer services requiring Metropolia authentication and the user does not have a Metropolia e-mail address in the Metropolia e-mail system. An external service provider – e.g. employer – e-mail address is included in an external user’s personal information. Usually external user accounts are needed to get access to Wiki or Moodle and are given to projects that are run together with other organizations. With an external user account logging to a Metropolia workstation is possible.
