The gvuser account acts identical to logging in as a patron barcode and PIN. The gvuser account is unique in that the log-in credentials are stored locally on the PC; this means a user can still log in without a network connection or when the network is down. It is recommended to use the gvuser account when there is no network connection or when non IT staff need to log into a workstation without administrative privileges.
