Understanding Your Thin Client

Users and Groups

What is a User Account?

The term user account should not be confused with the actual User account that

is the default account upon log-in. For each person using the terminal, the

owner can create an individual account. Each user account created can have

certain rights or permissions as chosen by the Administrator account. The

Administrator account can create, delete, and edit each of the users' settings

whenever needed.

User Account

The User account is the account that will automatically log-in at every boot. It

is also the account that should be used for guests or any user what should be

prohibited from modifying the thin client or its local drive in any way. There is

no password on this account by default. The User account holder can change his

or her account picture and create, delete, or change their account password. The

user account cannot change their own account name or account type, nor can

they install or uninstall any software. They may, however, use software

installed by the Administrator account.

Understanding Your Thin Client | 9

Administrator Account

By default, the User account is automatically logged in. To bypass this, you can

hold <Shift> during the boot process or hold <Shift> and click

Log Off,

which

can be seen by selecting the right arrow next to the

Shut Down

button option.

NOTE:

The default passwordfor the AdministratoraccountisAdministrator(case

sensitive).

Logging into the Administrator account should be very similar to the User account, with

some additional icons on the desktop. Unlike the User account(s), the Administrator

account can:

Install and uninstall hardware and software.

Create and delete user accounts on the terminal.

Create account passwords for user accounts on the terminal.

Change names, pictures, and passwords.

Change a user's account type to administrator account.

NOTE:

The Administrator account cannot changeits own account type to a limited User

account type unless there is at least one other account with administrator-privileges on

the thin client. This ensures that thereis always at least one administrator-level account

on the thin client.
