Abstract
A method is provided for configuring access to a network, to authorize an access to the network for at least one invited terminal associated with an invited user. The method is implemented by a first network access management module associated with a host user. The method includes: receiving, from a terminal associated with the host user, an offer to share the access to the network intended for the invited user, the users being connected via a social network; obtaining, from a second network access management module associated with the invited user, information identifying the invited terminal; obtaining, from the network, configuration information allowing access to the network by the invited terminal, following a sending, to the network, of an access configuration request comprising the identification information; and sending, to the second management module, configuration information intended for the invited terminal allowing it access to the network.
