Abstract
A guest control device communicates, to a first playback device, a self-signed authorization assertion. The guest control device then receives a signed local-access token. The signed local-access token is signed by the first playback device and allows the guest control device to access services provided by playback devices on the local area network. The guest control device communicates to a cloud network a cloud authorization grant assertion. The cloud authorization grant assertion comprises at least a portion of the signed local-access token. The at least the portion of the signed local-access token comprises an identifier for the first playback device. The guest control device then receives a cloud guest token. The cloud guest token is signed by the cloud network and allows the guest control device to access services on the local area network that are provided by the cloud network.
