Title:
  GUI way of managing guest account

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It would be really good if there was a GUI interface (probably in
  "User Accounts" settings) with the option to disable the guest
  account. So that instead of having to run a command in Terminal (or
  create a new config file) such as this one: sudo sh -c 'printf
  "[SeatDefaults]\nallow-guest=false\n"
  >/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-guest.conf'

  And then having to delete the /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-
  guest.conf file to get the guest account back, it would be really good
  if there could be an option to do this somewhere in the user interface
  so that you don't have to do it manually.
