Select “Allow Guest access” only if you want to allow people who are not registered users to

This is a convenient way to provide occasional users with access to files and other items for
which the appropriate privileges have been set.

Below “Maximum client connections,” choose Unlimited if you do not want to limit the
number of users who can be connected to your server at one time.

If you want to limit the number of simultaneous users, click the button below Unlimited and
enter the number of connections.

The maximum number of simultaneous users is limited by the type of license you have. For
example, if you have a 10-user license, then a maximum of 10 users can connect at one time.

Limiting the number of connections can free resources to be used by other services and
applications.
