# How does someone without an account see run results?

W\&B supports anonymous runs so that people without an account can view experiment results and optionally claim them later. If someone runs the script with `anonymous="allow"`:

1. **Auto-create temporary account**: W\&B checks for a signed-in account. If none exists, W\&B creates a new anonymous account and saves the API key for that session.
2. **Log results quickly**: You can run the script repeatedly and view results in the W\&B dashboard. These unclaimed anonymous runs remain available for 7 days.
3. **Claim data when it's useful**: After you identify useful results in W\&B, click a button in the banner at the top of the page to save your run data to a real account. Without claiming, the run data is deleted after 7 days.

<Warning>
  **Anonymous run links are sensitive**. These links permit anyone to view and claim experiment results for 7 days, so share links only with trusted individuals. For publicly sharing results while hiding the author's identity, contact [support@wandb.com](mailto:support@wandb.com) for assistance.
</Warning>

When a W\&B user finds and runs the script, the results log correctly to their account, like a normal run.
