Abstract: A network access manager of a local network may be used to provide access to unauthorized users on the local network. A request may be received from an authorized user of the network to allow the unauthorized users access to the network. A message may be sent to the unauthorized users to invite the unauthorized users to join the network. An authentication token may be received by the network access manager that authenticates the identity of one of the unauthorized users. The network access manager may validate the identity of the unauthorized user using the authentication token. The network access manager may provide a credential required to access the network to the unauthorized user. The unauthorized user may join the network using the credential.
