A change in the required guest permissions might prevent guest access from working correctly in SAS Visual Analytics after you apply the January 2022 updates to SAS Viya 3.5. The guest user might not be able to authenticate or open any SAS Visual Analytics reports. 

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note for a link to instructions about accessing and applying the software update.

If you previously enabled guest access, then you must run the sas-admin authorization facilitate-guest command again after installing the hot fix to ensure that the correct rules for the guest user are generated. For more information about running this command, refer to Authentication: Guest Access in the SAS^® Viya^® 3.5 Administration documentation.
