# Enable or disable guest users in AWS Wickr network
Enable or disable guest users

You can enable or disable guest users in your Wickr network.

Complete the following procedure to enable or disable guest users for your Wickr network.

1. Open the AWS Management Console for Wickr at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/wickr/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/wickr/).

1. On the **Networks** page, choose the **Admin** link, to navigate to Wickr Admin Console for that network.

   You're redirected to the Wickr Admin Console for a specific network.

1. In the navigation pane of the Wickr Admin Console, choose **Network Settings**, and then choose **Security Group**.

1. Choose **Details** for a specific security group.
**Note**  
You can enable guest users for individual security groups only. To enable guest users for all security groups in your Wickr network, you must enable the feature for each security group in your network.

1. Choose the **Federation** tab in the security group details page.

1. There are two locations where the toggle to allow guest users will be available:
   + **Local Federation —** For networks in US East (Northern Virginia), choose **Edit** next to the **Local Federation** section of the page.
   + **Global Federation —** For all other networks in other regions, choose **Edit** next to the **Global Federation** section of the page.

1. Select **Allow guest users** to enable guest users for the security group, or deselect it to disable it.

1. Choose **Save** to save the change and make it effective for the security group.

   Registered users in the specific security group in your Wickr network can now interact with guest users. For more information, see [Guest users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wickr/latest/userguide/guest-users.html) in the *Wickr User Guide*.
