        Guests are implicitly created by retrieving the guest access token.


        Repeated calls to this API with the same `subject` will create additional tokens without invalidating previous ones.
        Tokens are valid until the `expiresIn`.


        Guests can be renamed by supplying the same `subject` and changing the `displayName.`


        To retrieve a new token for an existing guest, please provide the existing guest''s `subject`. Tokens are valid until
        `expiresIn`.'
