An **external** user might be an external consultant, a volunteer in a charitable site, or a B2C customer who logged onto your website to shop. External users don't get access to Enterprise features, nor to the **My applications** page in authentik. Instead, external users are authenticated and then redirected to log directly into their [default application](../sys-mgmt/brands.md#external-user-settings).
