  - Create a simple password (which will be given to the guest).
  - Print out the email with the account details, write down the password, and give to guest.

===== Long Term =====

Long term access for a visiting scholar must be through a NENS (Non-employee, non-student) request. A designated authority (Emily? Allan?) puts the request in through Spire.
